Set in San Francisco, A Contrived World recounts the author’s
visit to the mythic Californian city. While the novel is based in
this real experience, the narrator’s imaginative reflections
cause the narrative to balloon outward into the realms of fiction
and fantasy. Each chance encounter provides an opportunity to
unfurl a fictional world that simultaneously complements and
compromises the real world. In this mirthful anti-novel, the
ambiguous fusion of observation and invention disrupts the
conventions of personal memoir and travel writing, resulting in a
chronicle that sets fiction against experience.
