Fugitive Daydreams

<p>Blending elements of fiction and nonfiction <em>Fugitive Daydreams</em> dares to challenge the boundaries of the short story by blurring the lines between convention and experimentation. Leah McCormack's debut collection features a house as alive as its inhabitants a mother dealing with multiple sclerosis and dementia a pair of conjoined twins getting separated dysfunctional families struggling with expectations and middle-class realities and a writer pushing against gendered aggression. With power and stylistic inventiveness McCormack embraces the absurd while refusing to look away from painful truths.</p><p><br></p>
