Riassunto

Filled with characters that are often delicately caught in moments of defiance, disregarding their age, their family, or the prevailing political winds, this collection finds a space for resistance and taking an honest delight in it. Alphonse, having broken out of an old people&;s home, changed his name, and fled the country, pedals down the length of the Rhône despite knowing he has barely six months to live. Meanwhile, a clergyman chooses to spend Christmas Eve&;and the last few hours in his job&;in a frozen, derelict school, dancing a wild jig with a vagrant called Goat. Holding real life at arm&;s length, this volume&;s bewitching, finely-wrought stories allow readers to escape and to take possession of the moment.
