Synopsis "The Good Eye"

Men and women confront the limits of their perception as reality shifts around them, in this startlingly original debut short-story collectionA stone appears in a woman’s pocket like a charm only to end up lodged in someone’s throat. A psychic harnesses her talent for animal communication to extract a perfect revenge. A woman goes pheasant shooting with her father-in-law and husband, switching her aim between the birds and the men. A condescending artist throws a dinner party, where he discovers a painful and consequential truth. In these twelve exquisite and uncanny stories, the world can change in an instant. The beautiful can suddenly become grotesque, the exalted disgraced, the genius an imposter. Ranging across the globe through the worlds of art, crime and fantasy, each character turns their gaze on themselves and on each other, to confront what they see with their good eye – and their bad.
