Last November: Short Stories
Ebook
Overview
A long-lost brother comes home and converses with his forlorn sister. Time stops when two cousins climb their childhood treehouse. A space station explodes and a survivor searches for his lover amid the debris. A child prodigy gets lost on an Oregon beach in search of existential answers. Peter Biles’s second short story collection, Last November, is a cacophony of voices, young and old, searching for validation in a world shorn of its relational fabric. The final two stories, intended to be read together, offer a subtle but confident affirmation of life and our place in the cosmos. Biles, a member of Gen Z, continues to mine for meaning in a distracted and anxious age.
“Last November is an arresting collection of stories from a young writer who has the wisdom and perspective—and the literary skill—of a much older person. These intimate portraits of twenty-first-century loneliness and technological alienation, involving characters who feel something is amiss but struggle to identify it, who long for validation and connection in a world driven by forces beyond their control, are honest, vulnerable, piercingly written, and ultimately, filled with hope.”
