Whether non-participants in the mainstream, rebels against it, or its occasional victims, they're well practiced at recognizing the herd instinct in action. From the six-year-old girl who discovers transgressive new games to play with her glamorous cousin from England; to a decidedly unusual schoolchild inventing a novel way of getting back at playground bullies; to young women who find their love interests drifting away, seduced by conventional notions of popularity and success; to a narrator who suddenly finds herself on no ordinary train trip through the heart of Slovenia -- these are characters and stories that deftly and sardonically underscore the phantom nature of "normalcy" itself and the risks of its tyranny for dissenters and conformists alike" -- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Games with Greta -- Below zero -- Sewing the princess -- Key to the restroom -- The subway -- Letters from a prisoner -- Proculin -- Trips are cheaper now, too -- Discretion guaranteed -- Letters without envelopes -- The greenhouse -- Geographical positions -- Something I've never understood about taking the train. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Social distance $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social isolation $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Slovenia $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Biggins, Michael, $e translator. 700 1 $a Soban, Tamara, $e translator. 700 1 $a Bibic, Spela, $e translator. 700 1 $a Sostarko, Mojca, $e translator. 700 1 $a Zargi, Elizabeta, $e translator. 830 0 $a Slovenian literature series (Dalkey Archive Press) 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171222022855.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802022810.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C8CE9F2C00A911E7BE28DDD2DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
