I get so many calls from robots asking me to please not hang up on them. So I hang up on them. There is no way I am going to let a robot tell me what to do. How dare they!! They should have a nice chat with my microwave. That guy knows me all too well. He is pretty cool, so I trust he will tell the phone robots to leave me alone to eat my microwave eggs and apple pies.
close to elsewhere: stories of translocation and whimsy
by Joshua Kent Bookman
Genre: Literary Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Thomi (the Frenchman) is hired by his girlfriend Elisa (the American). Together they join forces to make sense of her mother’s emigration from Italy, of which Elisa knows little. So he makes most of it up. But into the mix lands Elisa’s son Luca, a electronic millennial. close to elsewhere’s syncretization with Swedish-, Italian-, and Bengali-American writings helps the characters live between historic and contemporary prejudices, but their emotions and behaviours splinter. The characters struggle as they erode into 0s and 1s. To read this book is to discover a strategy of living in the 21st century that is neither a practice of mindfulness, nor an application of data science – it’s a gizmo for using all the senses to achieve a deftness of being.
