Boysgirls

A host of characters emerge from a madwoman's dreams, populating a world as strange and magnificent as a painting by Hieronymous Bosch. A boy with one wing seeks the secret to flight. A girl with a mirror for a face, adored by all, longs to simply eat. A pregnant girl reflects on the effects of metamorphoses. An unforgettable book of Ovidian imagination, "boysgirls" testifies that Farris is one of the most talented prose stylists of a new generation. 80 pp.
