A striking new
collection of ten short stories and two novellas that explores the idea
of property in every meaning of the word, from the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of the National Book Award finalist So Much for That and the international bestseller We Need to Talk About Kevin.
Intermingling
settings in America and Britain, Lionel Shriver’s first collection
explores property in both senses of the word: real estate and stuff.
These pieces illustrate how our possessions act as proxies for
ourselves, and how tussles over ownership articulate the power dynamics
of our relationships. In Lionel Shriver’s world, we may possess people
and objects and places, but in turn they possess us.
