The Accidentals
A captivating short story collection by the author of the International Booker–nominated Still born, which was translated into twenty languages and beloved by thousands of readers worldwide.
The wandering protagonists of these eight short stories are forced off course and into unfamiliar, strange territories. Like disoriented albatrosses. A girl meets her estranged—for mysterious reasons—ailing uncle after years. A dark force threatens a family retreating to the countryside amid Covid. A couple inhabits a terrifying world where it is better to sleep. A man tries to stave off marital boredom by embarking on a dangerous temporal experiment. A failed actor moves into the home of a now-famous former classmate, hoping for a change of fortune.
An uncanny and dark literary universe whose heroes confront their fears and limits in an attempt to find their way back.
