Produktbeschreibung

Nine engaging stories involving varying degrees of madness and despair, with occasional doses of the grotesque and the macabre

Spanning three continents, these stories take the reader all over the map, from Sri Lanka to the UK to the United States and back again. The plotlines are as diverse as the settings and range from coming-of-age stories to borderline horror stories. A Sri Lankan living in Boston visits a distant relative in London against his will. A psychiatrist has a new refrigerator delivered to his house, and one thing after another goes wrong. A Tucson teacher combats ground squirrels in his subdivision. A businessman goes to Denver to save his career and gets more than he bargained for. In the title story "The Breatharian," a fifteen-year-old Sri Lankan boy obsesses over the appearance of a stranger in his village. He cannot rest until he discovers the truth. Is the breatharian a saint, a madman, or something else entirely? Read to find out.
