Duplications, and Other Stories

An imaginative and fantastic collection, the short stories gathered here repeatedly ask, What if? and explore situations that depart from the normal expectations of daily life. Storefront mannequins come to life at night; a witness to a street stabbing becomes the victim of the very crime he saw; a woman neglected by her husband undergoes an unexpected transformation. The stories revel in the strangeness of life and challenge readers to look beyond the merely logical.
