Even That Wildest Hope bursts with vibrant, otherworldly characters — wax girls and gods-among-men, artists on opposite sides of a war, aimless plutocrats and anarchist urchins — who are sometimes wondrous, often grotesque, and always driven by passions and yearnings common to us all. Each story is an untamed territory unto itself: where characters are both victims and predators, the settings are antique and futuristic, and where our intimacies — with friends, lovers, enemies, and even our food — tytreveal a deeply human desire for beauty and abjection.
