Reading and book signing with James R. Gapinski, author of "The Museum of Future Mistakes"
About the Book:
THE MUSEUM OF FUTURE MISTAKES is packed with inventive narrative choices and sharp lyricism, upending expectations on every page. In "Brother and Not-Brother," the residents of an entire city transform into perfect copies of the narrator’s deceased brother. In "The Last Dinosaurs of Portland," two anthropomorphic dinosaurs yearn for companionship and empathy while fighting for a meager existence. In "Three-Month Autopsy," a character visits ex-lovers and returns Ziploc baggies full of their body parts. Through these and other fabulist and magical realist stories, James R. Gapinski considers our physical relationship with our own bodies, how we process love and loss, and the fragility of identity amid moments of personal crisis.
