From the acclaimed, award-winning author of Present Tense Machine and Knots , a collection of playfully surreal stories about love, death, and metamorphosis. In Evil Flowers , a precise but madcap collection of short stories, Gunnhild ???yehaug extracts the bizarre from the mundane and reveals the strange, startling brilliance of everyday life. In her new collection, ???yehaug renovates the form again and again, confirming Lydia Davis's observation that her "every story [is] a formal surprise, smart and droll." These tales converse with, contradict, and expand on one another; birds, slime eels, and wild beasts reappear, gnawing at the fringes. A fairly large part of a woman's brain slips into the toilet bowl, removing her ability to remember or recognize species of birds (particularly problematic because she is an ornithologist). Medicinal leeches ingest information through fiberoptic cables, and a new museum sinks into the ground. Inspired by Charles Baudelaire, a dreamer and romantic in the era of realism, ???yehaug revolts against the ordinary, reaching instead for the wonder to be found in fantasy and absurdity. Brimming with wit, ingenuity, and irrepressible joy, these stories mark another triumph from a dazzling international writer.
