A woman post-breakup becomes obsessed with the mirror Facebook of
herself seeing a life that could be hers. Another woman, besieged
by bed bugs, studies her relationship and the affects her recently-
ended secret affair has on it. An anonymous music file surfaces on
the internet and a cult springs up in its wake. A group of city
animals briefly open their minds to us; A woman finds her clothes
growing baggy, her shoes looser, as she shrinks the world around
her recedes. Jillian Tamaki brings her combined characteristic
realism and humour to her first collection of short stories.
Boundless explores the lives of women and how the expectations of
others influence their real and virtual selves. Mixing objective
reality, speculative fiction, out-and-out fantasy, and a
matter-of-fact feminism, Tamaki shows herself to be a short story
talent equal to her peers Adrian Tomine and Eleanor Davis. As
Tamaki experiments with art-styles, we see hyper-realist detailing
duelling with thick chunky blocks of ink, each delicately setting
the mood for her characters inner turmoil.
