Description: "Savannah sleeps on the roof of her house. Kevin obsesses over Calvin and Hobbes, its relationship with his father. Patrons of a trampoline park break limbs at an alarming rate. A man shears a sheep in a suburban driveway. In "Emerson", Xavier is followed by a tiny T-Rex as he searches for his brother Charlie, whom he hasn't seen in six years. "Dead Aquarium" is a collection of twelve stories and a novella, all of which trace the looney of the everyday. The real and the imagined are weighed against each other. The dead, the displaced, and Florida's apocalyptic landscape make repeated cameos throughout [this book], working to build common ground between the mundane and the sublime." -- back cover.
