<p><strong>FINALIST Eric Hoffer Awards (2026)</strong></p><p></p><p>Award-winning writer Laurence Klavan's newest collection of stories features twenty darkly comic and largely speculative tales. People deal with aging parents a world out of kilter and their own arrested development today and in the near-future as Klavan weaves together threads of humanity and strangeness to dizzying and heartfelt effects. <em>Adult Children</em> is a fascinating glimpse into the uneasiness of today and the possibility of tomorrow.</p>
