A "New York Times" Notable Book A "San Francisco Chroncile" Book of the Year Twice selected for "Granta"'s list of Best Young British Novelists and winner of the Costa Book Award, A. L. Kennedy returns with a not-to-be-missed addition to the canon of one of this generation's most unique and inventive writers. A man abandons his indifferent wife and wanders into a small-town movie theater, only to find himself just as invisible as he was at home. A woman trying to relax in a flotation tank is hijacked by memories of her past, while another is inadvertently drawn into a stranger's marital dysfunction. Whether documenting unexpected one-night stands or quotidian absurdities, the powerful stories in "What Becomes" capture the spirit of our times with unmatched brio and dazzling wit.
