Description
Happy Stories, Mostly is a thought-provoking collection of twelve stories that challenge conventional norms. Drawing inspiration from Simone Weil's concept of 'decreation', these tales feature queer characters in unexpected situations and plots, often incorporating elements of science fiction, absurdism, and alternative-historical realism. The stories are woven together to create a complex tapestry, with phrases and themes echoing across the narrative. Each tale is a puzzle piece that contributes to a larger whole, but crucial details are omitted or forgotten, leaving the reader to fill in the gaps. This powerful blend of styles aims to destabilise the heteronormative world and expose its underlying absences. With its unique blend of cultural elements and queer perspectives, Happy Stories, Mostly is a compelling read that will appeal to those interested in exploring alternative narratives.
