I best know Prabda Yoon author of Moving Parts (2002) as the screenplay author of indie Thai films. This is the second collection of short stories put out by Tilted Axis Press. The overall theme of the collection is body parts and it has some fantastical elements in several of the stories on par with "magic realism." It is somewhat uneven, but inventive and engaging in most stories. One of my favorite stories was "A Hairy Situation" which finds a young and appealing music teacher with long hair giving the student class beauty with long flowing locks a ride home. It seems innocent enough but there are hints of mischievousness between the two. This story like most ends with a subtle twist-some of the twists are less subtle, but that seems to be the format. Some other standout stories for me were: "Destiny's a Dick," "A New Hand," "Long Heart," and "Butt Plug."
