In this book by Mia Lecomte everything is possible, accomplished, and all at once technically impossible. She seems to trust her readers’ intelligence, counting on their ability to catch understated humor and follow a narrative tango. These are stories that shift between whimsy and frustration and won’t let themselves be pinned down, leaving a subtle but lingering unease.
