From the critically acclaimed author of Be Safe I Love You comes a dark and breathtaking novel of love, friendship, and survival set in the red light district of Athens in the 1980s that Garth Greenwall calls "a ferocious, brilliant book."Running brings together an ensemble of outsiders who get by as "runners"—hustlers who sell tourists on low-end accommodations for a small commission and a place to stay. Bridey Sullivan, a young American woman who has fled a peculiar and traumatic upbringing in Washington State, takes up with a queer British couple, the poet Milo Rollack and Eton drop-out Jasper Lethe.

What
lies behind the human urge to collect things? What is the true
psychology of the kleptomaniac? These questions bear on all of us;
within every person there lurks a fanatical philatelist or a
monomaniacal lepidopterist, just waiting to burst forth. In his new
story cycle, Twelve Collections, Zoran Zivkovic, the master of
mind-bending surreal fantasy, applies his fertile mind to this problem.
Some of Zivkovic’s characters are lonely eccentrics, driven to gather
unusual objects by quirks of temperament or fate; others are the victims
of metaphysical collectors from Beyond, entities eager to snap up
memories, emotions, and other loose fragments of the soul.
In
these pages are explained the profound karmic consequences of
photographic narcissism, insane record-keeping, the archiving of one’s
nail clippings, and the infinite savouring of words; here also are
exemplary warnings against surrendering hope, living without creativity,
accepting too blithe a Heaven, and answering the phone in the middle of
a dream-haunted night. Of course, even with such sage counsel, life
remains uncertain and perilous; but even if ultimate answers can never
be found, a Zivkovic collection is always eminently collectable…
Also in this volume: “The Teashop,” a superb new novelette about storytelling and the miraculous weavings of Fate. Views: 14
