"In stories that form a series of idiosyncratic 'what ifs,' Phillips dares to ask the big questions: Who are we? Can we trust our surroundings? Where do we fit? [] What if your perfect hermaphrodite match existed on another planet? What if you could suddenly see through everybody's skin to their organs? What if you knew the exact date of your death? What if your city was filled with doppelgangers of you? Forced to navigate these bizarre scenarios, Phillips's characters search for solutions to the problem of how to survive in an irrational, infinitely strange world. [] We meet a wealthy woman who purchases a high-tech sex toy in the shape of a life-size man, a couple stumbling through the first months of parenthood, and orphaned twin sisters who work as futuristic strippers--and we discover that no one is quite who they appear. In Phillips's intelligent and imaginative hands, mothers and sisters, wives and children, aliens and androids alike are tested by their curiosity, their willingness to push boundaries of their understanding, and, most of all, by their hope. [] By turns surreal, witty, and perplexing, the stories here offer solutions for the everyday indignities of living in a time and place that can feel futuristic, fantastical, and familiar all at once." [jacket copy] "I love Helen Phillips's wild, brilliant, eccentric brain. Her vision flashes down like a lightning bolt into everyday terrors--having a baby, caring for a sick relative, raising a child in a city suffocating for lack of green space--but in a way so wonderfully awry that every single story in SOME POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS has a freshness to it that comes as a shock to the reader's system."--Lauren Groff. "This stunning collection establishes Helen Phillips as one of the most interesting and talented writers working today. In atmosphere and setting, her stories are often reminiscent of Kafka and Atwood, yet her voice and style are entirely her own. A fascinating, unsettling, and beautifully written work."--Emily St. John Mandel. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright & bubbly-purple jacket.
