Publisher Description

Nine stories that capture "the tensions that exist between technology, parenthood and growing up. . . . An innovative portrait of modern living". 

Through unexpected visitors, school fairs, aging indie-film stars, capitalist shell games, and the Instagram posts of a twelve-year-old girl, these stories of friendship and parenthood, celebrity and obsession, race and class, and the passage of time form an engrossing collection that is both otherworldly and suffused with the charged hum of everyday life.

Mythic and modern, Likes uses quick, masterful, nearly invisible cuts to help us see into our unacknowledged desires and, in quick, artful, nearly invisible cuts, exposes the roots of our abiding terrors and delights.
