This surreal, precise collection unfolds in a world beyond conventional time and space. Concerned with theft, shame, exile, tourism, masochism, God, and “Nature,” these stories are lightly linked—objects, diseases, and landscapes reappear. Gleason’s elliptical prose refuses traditional narrative logic, resisting easy resolution. Reminiscent of the work of Anna Kavan, Jane Bowles, and Marie NDiaye, \u003ci\u003eThe Wallet and Other Thefts\u003c\/i\u003e is a work of slipstream fiction that pulses with a sense of something generously withheld.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kristen Gleason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48089421512955,"sku":"9781964499680","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_08b46031-f402-43df-9723-03149e5c50e4.jpg?v=1776917756","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-wallet-and-other-thefts-9781964499680","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
