Softie
In beautifully melancholy stories of magical realism, the women and girls in Softie transform their bodies and test their sanity, trying to find meaning in the loneliest of places. A former child star haunted by a past she can't remember. An Afro-French girl with an obsession for ear lobes. A loner whose only friend is hiding a terrible, otherworldly secret. Each of these stories shares situations that are sometimes fantastical, sometimes commonplace, but always strange. From a Corsican vacation town in its off-season to hospital rooms and a seedy hotel suite in Chicago, experience the every day come fully untethered from reality.

Softies
'A light space comedy laced with witty dialogue.' — KIRKUS 'A hilariously absurd comic.' — SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL 'Breezy, satisfying science fiction.' — FOREWORD Earth has exploded! Here’s what happens next. When planet Earth just kind of blows up without warning, 13-year-old Kay becomes the world's youngest chunk of space debris. She's inadvertently rescued from the vacuum by Arizona, an alien space-waste collector, and Euclid, his erudite cybernetic pet, and from there this unlikely trio blasts off for the most outlandish, hilarious, and occasionally bureaucratic adventure of their lives! As Arizona tries to keep their ship on course and show Kay the ways of the wider universe, her new role as Earth’s sole survivor slowly comes into focus through each increasingly silly stop on their wild intergalactic road trip. The fledgling team is on a search for the next big score and a loose concept called “home,” both answered by the eternal question: “Where to next?”
Softice
Det er efterår, og Cecil er lige blevet en del af noget. Hun fester med nye venner og bliver hele tiden puffet med videre af bløde vindpust. Hun er altid sivet ud mellem fingrene på sig selv, og nu drømmer hun om, at den smukke og dyrtduftende mand i hættetrøje også skal drømme om hende, inden noget er for sent. Cecils far, Eric, er faldet gennem nogle uheldige sprækker i sin virkelighed. Han har aldrig rigtigt haft kontakt til sine to døtre, og nu vokser noget i hans mave, der ikke er så godt. Og lidt ved siden af det hele går Cecils kusine Jill. Hun døser og drømmer om softice, overgangsalder og om horisonten, hvor hun gerne vil gå en stille tur i en lang dyr frakke. SOFTICE er en roman om at længes mod noget gyldent i det fjerne, om at ville bære sin smeltende form på en smart og smuk måde og om at tvivle på, om man er tydelig nok. En nænsom fortælling om bedøvelse og ekstase og om at have lyst til – eller være bange for – at forsvinde.
