Acclaimed for her piercing insights and razor-sharp prose, award winning author Guadalupe Nettel introduces us to eight characters who are each in their own way lost and wandering, struggling to connect with the people around them. In “Imprinting,” Nettel shows us a young woman finding an unexpected affinity with an estranged uncle, whose exile from the family is too deep a secret for his niece to know. She introduces us, in “Life Elsewhere,” to a frustrated actor who begins, without realizing it, to take over the life and house of a more successful former colleague.

A spiraling police procedural, traversing mundane neighborhood grudges and political intrigue to tell a story of a society hollowed out by violence. McSweeney's is a literary journal based in San Francisco.
