A collection of 14 short stories that explore themes of fleeting time, mortality, memory, loss, alienation, and the search for meaning. Wolfe’s characteristic lyrical, sprawling, and intensely personal style permeates stories such as “Only the Dead Know Brooklyn", which highlights isolation and the search for permanence in a transient world.
