Description

“Beautiful stories, searching and generous. Ockert never ceases to astound.” —Junot Diaz

Neighbors of Nothing
examines characters who find themselves searching for new identities in worlds they no longer recognize. Through odd, compelling, and sometimes futile gestures, these characters struggle against guilt and grief and the seemingly endless stretch of days. Influenced by absurdism and the southern gothic, Neighbors of Nothing offers intelligent and heartrending insights into the complex human struggle to exist with purpose.
