A master storyteller's vision reawakens us to the human experience
in this diverse, haunting, and unexpectedly humorous new collection
of short fiction from Simon Van Booy-his first since Love Begins in
Winter, winner of the Frank O'Connor International Short Story
Award. "She believed it was a gift to never truly know the self. We
are not who we think we are, nor how others see us. Long before
death, we die a thousand times at the hands of a definition." In
his first book of short stories since Love Begins in Winter, for
which he won the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award),
bestselling author Simon Van Booy offers a collection of stories
highlighting how human genius can emerge through acts of
compassion. Through characters including an eccentric film
director, an aging Cockney bodyguard, the teenage child of Nigerian
immigrants, a divorced amateur magician from New Jersey, and a
Beijing street vendor who becomes an overnight billionaire, Tales
of Accidental Genius contemplates individuals from different
cultures, races-rich and poor, young and old-and reveals how faith
and yearning for connection helps us all transcend darkness of fear
and misfortune.
