Some Heat
Miranda July
‘No one knows why ripping up a name makes a person call – science can’t explain it. Erasing the name also works.’
Ghosts
Brian Hart

Julia Franck

The Bees that Disappeared
Keiichiro Hirano
‘It was during this period that I got to know K, one of the local mailmen.’

Tomás González
