This is an eclectic set of short stories, which is playful in its use of form.
Of these “Jesus’ elbows and other Christian urban myths” was one that perhaps hasn’t stood the test of time – in 2004 this collection of parody conspiracy theories probably read as witty, but now it is hard to separate it from an average day on Twitter, these parodies have been overtaken.
The one that I found most successful was “2,115 Opportunities” which recounts the ‘same’ incident happening in different realities, the chance encounter (or non-encounter) between two people – asking questions of what we might call fate, or see fate in things, it somehow feels more romantic seeing all the times that the spark didn’t happen.
