An expedition to Mars goes terribly wrong. A seaside pier collapses. A thirty-stone man is confined to his living room. One woman is abandoned on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean. In this first collection of stories by the award-winning author of THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME, Mark Haddon demonstrates that he is a master of the short form.
