Specificatii
* An ABA December 2023 Indie Next List pick.From the award-winning author of A Questionable Shape and White Dialogues, a brilliant, anxious, and hilarious new collection.A man lends his phone to a stranger in the mall, setting off an uncanny series of Unknown calls that come to haunt his relationship with jealousy and dread. A well-meaning locavore tries to butcher his backyard chickens humanely, only to find himself absorbed into the absurd violence of the pecking order. A student applying for a philosophy fellowship struggles to project himself into the thoughts of his hypothetical judges, becoming increasingly possessed and overpowered by the problem of other minds. And in The Postcard, a private detective is hired to investigate a posthumous message that a widower has seemingly received from his dead wife, leading him into a foggy landscape of lost memories, shifting identities, and strange doublings.Cerebral and eerie, captivating and profound, these twelve stories expertly guide us through the paranoia and obsession of everyday horrors, not least the horrors of overthinking what other people might be thinking. With all of Sims's trademark virtuosity, innovation, and wit, Other Minds and Other Stories continues to expand the possibilities of contemporary fiction.Additional reading: For Necessary Fiction, Other Minds and Other Stories author Bennett Sims contributes to the Research Notes series, where authors describe their process for a recent book: Necessary Fiction's Research Notes by Bennett Sims November 17, 2023For Electric Literature, Other Minds and Other Stories author Bennett Sims recommends 10 Books About Nonhuman Consciousness November 14, 2023 Read an excerpt: BOMB Magazine hosts an excerpt of the short story Medusa from Bennett Sims' Other Minds and Other Stories: MEDUSA by BENNETT SIMSLiterary Hub hosts an excerpt of the short story Other Minds from Bennett Sims' Other Minds and Other Stories: OTHER MINDS by BENNETT SIMSMenagerie Magazine hosts an excerpt of the short story The New Violence from Bennett Sims' Other Minds and Other Stories: THE NEW VIOLENCE by BENNETT SIMSPloughshares hosts an excerpt of the short story Pecking Order from Bennett Sims' Other Minds and Other Stories: PECKING ORDER by BENNETT SIMS
