Description

Budi Darma's People from Bloomington is a poignant and unsettling collection of short stories that explore the complexities of human connection in America. Set against the backdrop of 1970s Indiana, these seven tales reveal a world where loneliness and isolation are ever-present, yet people struggle to form genuine relationships with one another.

Through an absurdist lens, Darma paints a realistic portrait of small-town life, where the solitary can easily remain alone, and people's obsessions with others often mask deeper insecurities. This is a world that is both morbidly funny and profoundly sympathetic, one that will resonate with readers long after they finish reading.
