Love doesn't always ride a unicycle. Sometimes it's a tandem bike with Lie sitting right behind, pedaling as hard as it can. In these ten stories and novella, Conway explores this strange coexistence of opposites. In settings as diverse as a green urban park and a war-ravaged landscape, with characters ranging from a failed salesman to a college instructor to a fourth grade boy, appearances are peeled back to reveal the complexity that lives beneath much of what we say and do.
