And Yet It Moves

<p>In this exquisite debut short story collection people with unusual jobs and lives embark on extraordinary journeys. A taboo romance breaks the laws of gravity. Albert Einstein writes letters to the daughter he abandoned. A female physicist meets Stephen Hawking in a bar. . . . In the closing novella <i>All Those Stairs</i> an elevator operator with a genius IQ rides up and down all day enclosed in a metal box. Author Erin Stalcup explores these lives with remarkable compassion depth and insight examining loss and longing and how our bodies and minds can be both weighted and freed. <i>And Yet It Moves</i> is a powerful combination of both absurdist and realist--stories that literally defy gravity.</p>
