Orientation and other Stories

Resumen del libro

A debut collection of funny, heartbreaking, and powerful stories from the best unknown writer in America

Breakfast's boiled egg, the overhead hum of fluorescent lights, the midmorning coffee break daily routines keep the world running. But when people are pushed by a coworker's taunt, a face-to-face encounter with a woman in free fall from a bridge cracks appear, revealing alienation, casual cruelty, madness, and above all a simultaneous hunger for and fear of the unknown. Daniel Orozco's Orientation introduces a writer at the height of his powers, whose work invites us to reassess the landscape of American fiction.
