Partly inspired by the acclaimed fiction of Kurt Vonnegut, Joy Williams, and Lydia Davis, Bodies in Recline explores the full range of human emotions and behavior in a style imbued with profound irony and deep humor, with an inclination toward the latter. Powerfully imagined, the pensees in this collection will take the reader on a sojourn across landscapes both exotic and familiar. Bodies in Recline demonstrates the full reach of the author's imagination and creative powers. Keith brings to the reader a singular collection of idiosyncratic and laconic narratives designed to fully engage and provoke. The epigrammatic tales between these covers provide a sometimes numinous often harrowing account of what we do and what we think and what we think we should do.
