Description:
Winner of the BOA Short Fiction Prize
One ofBuzzFeed's Fifteen Small Press Books To Kick Off Your 2020 Reading Season
A fastidious pet robot with a knack for knitting. A soporific giant pitching camp in the middle of a city. A mysterious mime whose upcoming performance has the whole town on edge.
The stories in Mark Polanzak's BOA Short Fiction Prize-winningThe OK End of Funny Town stitch fantastic situations into the drab fabric of everyday life. Polanzak delights in stretching every boundary he encounters, from the new focus on practical learning at the New Community School, to the ever-changing tastes of diners in search of the next big trend in local cuisine.
Wondrous yet familiar,The OK End of Funny Townexcavates the layers between our collective obsession with passing fads and our secret yearning for lasting connection.
"Polanzak's collection is rich and packed with visionary tales that are sure to entertain speculative fiction readers."--Booklist
