The Involuntary Sojourner
A debut collection of stories, uncanny and profound.In this striking debut, S. P. A town is split in two, a line painted down the middle, when two warring governments decide, arbitrarily, to redraw borders. Tenhoff takes us to real and imagined countries around the globe, where characters find themselves passengers on voyages beyond the boundaries of their familiar world and their understanding of themselves.
An aging puppeteer in Edo-period Japan struggles to choose a successor before dementia overtakes him. A man hits a boy in a car accident that he begins to suspect might not have been an accident after all. And in the title story, a mysterious illness causes its victims to travel like sleepwalkers to distant countries, where they wake to discover that they are now fluent in languages and cultures they previously didn't know at all.
Uncanny and profound, these ten stories
