DESCRIPTION

Excerpt. Purchase the full book here:http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/item/SW00000330923/Wise-Peter-Metamorphosis-2-and-other-stories/1.html "Kafka's Grigor Samsa discovers that metamorphosis itself is subject to change; a woman who might be a tree or tree that might be a woman keeps watch over a couple; a man with no tongue finds a new job in the funeral business; two women in a caravan park turn into their own words. A lost boy in nineteenth century Australia eats too much, with geological consequences. A doctor called Athena halts the decline in owl numbers. Virginia Woolf thinks about things she is not supposed to. What happens when an animal teaches itself language, or a thought creates a new and uninhabited cosmos? These and other possibilities are explored in a series of stories connected by their common concern with transformation. Speculative realism: nothing is what it seems, and even when it is it doesn€'t stay that way.
