Paperback. Condición: Good. Winner of the 2021 Moon City Short Fiction Award Michele Finn Johnson's colorful, witty stories hum with life.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Winner of the 2022 Moon City Short Fiction Award> Reveal Codes is a collection of short stories mapping the ways in which people, and other animals, read and misread, communicate and miscommunicate, mask and unmask, with and around one another.

In a series of>pas de deux, or duets, the characters in these stories try to make themselves legible to family, friends, and lovers--revealing their messy patterns, their bare-faced vulnerabilities. These are stories that unfurl tentacles of longing made with language in an attempt to decode the illegibility of an incoherent and inchoate surrounding world.…
