Description

Thirteen surreal stories come together to form a haunting portrait of life in a strange and isolated world. In Paradise Block, mould grows thick along walls, alarms ring out at unexpected hours, and the neighbours are not what they seem.

The residents of this topsy-turvy place live in close proximity yet long for connection. A little girl boils endless eggs, an old woman entices new friends with gifts of cutlery and cufflinks, while a young bride grows frustrated with her unappreciative husband.

With a keen eye for the absurd, these stories lure us into a world where fleatraps are more important than babies and sales calls for luxury coffins provide a welcome distraction. A world that is both familiar and strange, Paradise Block is a thought-provoking exploration of loneliness and human connection.
