In his confident debut, Greg Bechtel offers ten charged stories about the impossible-turned-possible--secrets, paranoia, sex, conspiracies, and magic--our world distilled and transmuted.
Boundary Problems vibrates on the edge of meaning, as carjackers, accidental gunrunners, small-town cabbies, and confused physics students struggle to wring meaning from the strange events that overtake them. Bechtel's worlds of mystery, physics, and magic constantly challenge his characters' pursuit of logical explanations. These compelling tales blur lines and push boundaries--into the surreal, into the playful, into the irresistibility of uncertainty.
