Bees + Things + Flowers: Microfictions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781020001130)

"This is not a love story," she said.

"Good. I've never been big on those," he responded.

"But this might hurt a little."

So begins Ran Walker's 19th book, a collection of microfiction that tells the story of a relationship between two unnamed characters and their romance over the course of a single summer in New York City.

Flowing like a mixtape, the collection reads like a concept album, revealing the highs and lows of two people fighting against time to build a relationship that could change them both.
