Pulse Points by Jennifer Down
The characters in Pulse Points live in small dusty towns, glittering exotic cities and slow droll suburbs; they are mourners, survivors and perpetrators. In the award-winning 'Aokigahara', a woman travels to the sea of trees in Japan to say goodbye. In 'Coarsegold', a woman conducts an illicit affair while her girlfriend works the overnight motel shift in the middle of nowhere. In 'Dogs', Foggo runs a gang of bored, cruel boys with a scent for fresh meat. In 'Pressure Okay' a middle-aged man remembers his departed wife and navigates the long game of grief with his adult daughter.
