商品簡介
In Neil Smith's nine stories, average people find themselves in decidedly unusual situations as the mundane and the fantastic collide. A woman mourning the loss of her husband finds solace in talking to his ashes which are entombed in a curling stone. The title story zeroes in on a girl with Fred Hoyle syndrome, whose age expands and contracts like the universe. The members of a support group for people with benign tumors begin to suspect that their meekness has caused their medical woes.
