Sod

The world never made much sense to James. And to be quite frank, James never made much sense to the world either. But James believed that he and the world had come to an uncomfortable-yet-peaceful understanding, where each would tolerate the other's peculiarities without too much fuss-at least long enough for James to graduate from high school. Then, as stories like this tend to go, a chance encounter makes James question everything he thought he knew, didn't know, and occasionally assumed about the world. Sod is an odd little story filled with romance, philosophy, a brain with a mind of its own, and a surprisingly deep exploration of the ins and outs of urban waste management. It's also short enough to enjoy in an afternoon if you're so inclined. Maybe not a busy, running errands and readings bits here-and-there afternoon. But it's perfect for a lazy afternoon when there's nothing to do but read odd little books. Cover art by Caitlin Rose: www.caitlinroseillustration.com
