When Gravity Snaps

A collection of twenty-four short stories. In the title story a narrator travels with a mixed and sometimes desperate tour group through southern Europe and watches it split into factions. Elsewhere two brothers meet again after many years when one of them is dying, the Sumerbottoms face a desperate spring, a tender beginning turns into unrequited love, and one story plays with code and form.
