Sommario/riassunto |
|
In Bull, Mark Sinnett's first collection of stories, daily life is overwhelmed - pushed to the brink by the complexity and breakneck pace of all the data flooding in. And it's not just the local TV weatherman that's almost driven mad by the chaos. In the same city, women scour the classifieds to torment men who raise pitbulls and alligators; telephone technology turns estranged lovers into decrepit 007s and suburban Emma Peels; horrific accidents leave scars only tranquilized strippers can see; cameras fly like heavy, clattering, suidcidal birds through plate glass windows; flowers are stolen |
