Description
Gravity Changes is a collection of fantastical, off-beat stories that view the quotidian world through the lens of the absurd. Set in a surreal fictional world that is populated by strange characters-children who defy gravity, a man who marries a light-bulb, the Devil and his miracle-worker wife-these stories take wide steps outside of reality, finding new ways to illuminate truth.
