Description
A zombie learns to pass for a living human being. College friends decide to play a child's game that turns out to be anything but child-like. A man builds a box to keep his loneliness. Two department store elves share a drink on Christmas Eve and discover presents aren't always neatly wrapped beneath the tree. In The Correct Response, Manfred Gabriel artfully blends the fantastic and the real, culminating in surreal but heartfelt tales of longing, love, and loss against the backdrop of modern America.
