Bu sesli kitap hakkında
An exquisite new collection of short stories from award-winning author Simon Van Booy.
Over the past decade, Simon Van Booy has been listening to people’s stories. With these personal accounts as a starting point, he has crafted a powerful collection of short fiction that takes readers into the innermost lives of everyday people.

“Van Booy’s stories are somehow like paintings the characters walk out of, and keep walking.” —Los Angeles Times
