Life in an ever-shrinking box

"Life in an ever-shrinking box" is a collection of short stories written by Alisa Popova.



A lonely woman sits on a magic train. A baboon ponders about the definition of beauty. Last-minute kisses, inevitable apocalypses, and a man peeling a pomegranate.



In awe of human complexity, "Life in an ever-shrinking box" blends magic, love, and tragedy into a collection of breathlessly bittersweet short stories. From the Thai heat to a frozen night in a Danish city, this book is filled with marvel.
