#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
The absurdities and indignities of modern life are rendered in lapidary detail in these funny, humane and strangely uplifting stories. Imbuing the everyday with a sense of the Kafkaesque or responding to the observably surreal, these writers give us pause to consider the world as we know it.
