A Timeshare

Margaret Ross s debut unearths the corporeal in the most desolate reaches of corporate speech: Futures exchange. Human resources. Personal life.Lush and visceral, A Timeshareknows thatquestions and crises of individual existenceare inextricably bound to shared experience and its deft music carries from the closest closet to outer space, touching the concrete through the metaphysical: it syncs the bed to the ocean, memory to zero-g, voicemail to lyric, killjar, dive bar, Lascaux, Antarctica, living and waiting rooms. What time is it? What s time? Your shadow renders you a human sundial. "Countdown," the book begins."
