Pillow Museum

The Pillow Museumgathers 56 flash fictions, micro-essays, and contemporary fables set in various simulacra of our world where the burden on women and families has become absurd and even funny. From the first sentence, Claire Bateman's gorgeous prose captures the imagination with closely observed details of people and places that are startlingly familiar and also unreal, where nothing can be taken for granted, including narrative logic.
