An ebook exclusive.
Slow Stories presents for the first time novelist and artist Bette A.'s short stories, most of which have never been published. In the collection, Bette explores alternate dimensions, dreams, nightmares, possible futures and speculative utopias, among them a world where everyone is linked by an emotional connection system; an endless house inhabited by a girl who dreams a new room into existence each night; and a society that is controlled by a polling machine connected to the brains of the citizens. With her signature wit, Bette irreverently crashes genre boundaries with stories that fold in on themselves at unexpected angles, like feathers pointing the wrong directions.
A longtime collaborator with Brian Eno, their joint book What Art Does is available from Faber. Bette is the author of two novels, Rus, Like Everyone Else, and What's Mine, both published in North America by Unnamed Press, and by Cossee in the Netherlands.
