Overview

\"The protagonists of Suzana Tratnik's short stories all share a sense of isolation on society's margins. Whether non-participants in the mainstream, rebels against it, or its occasional victims, they're well practiced at recognizing the herd instinct in action. From the six-year-old girl who discovers transgressive new games to play with her glamorous cousin from England; to a decidedly unusual schoolchild inventing a novel way of getting back at playground bullies; to young women who find their love interests drifting away, seduced by conventional notions of popularity and success; to a narrator who suddenly finds herself on no ordinary train trip through the heart of Slovenia -- these are characters and stories that deftly and sardonically underscore the phantom nature of \"normalcy\" itself and the risks of its tyranny for dissenters and conformists alike\" -- Provided by publisher.
