The Eighth Continent (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781558852174)

With rich evocative language, this powerful and enriching collection of nine stories explores the impact of the broad political and historical events on individual lives, success in the face of low expectations and the humor that redeems everyday struggles. Populating the stories are engrossing individuals: from underground revolutionaries faced with fear of betrayal to a young woman in a mental hospital who challenges our perceptions of truth and lies, sanity and insanity.
