Each story builds a new world all its own: a group of children steal a haunted doll; a runaway bride encounters a sea monster; a vendor sells toy boxes that seemingly control the passage of time; an insomniac is seduced by the Sandman. These visions of modern life wrestle with themes of death and technological consequence, guilt and sexuality, and unmask the contradictions that exist within all of us. Mesmerizing, electric, and wholly original, Kim Fu's Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century blurs the boundaries of the real and fantastic, offering intricate and surprising insights into human nature"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Short stories. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 17 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20240412011257.0 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111010942.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020117.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024152.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907011932.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20230725011218.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20230630010501.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014925.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230104010328.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024514.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220802014657.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220706023144.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013739.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220414010247.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220302013044.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220301010535.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220129010236.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=21B5168C80D111EC9CB8E34544ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
