Description
Sequoia Nagamatsu's Where We Go When All We Were Is Gone is a collection of twelve fabulist and genre-bending stories inspired by Japanese folklore, historical events, and pop culture.
The tales in this book explore the spaces we occupy when we are at our most vulnerable, turning to the fantastic, the mysticism of the past, and the absurdities of the future to illuminate our individual and collective experiences. From a man with a demonic ability to stretch his neck, to a couple navigating the complexities of reviving their deceased daughter, each story delves into the complexities of human connection and the power of myth.
Through its unique blend of genre-bending storytelling and exploration of Japanese folklore, Where We Go When All We Were Is Gone offers a fresh perspective on the spaces we inhabit when we are at our most vulnerable. This is a collection that will appeal to readers interested in literary fiction, fairy tales, and folk tales.
