The characters in \u003ci\u003eA Small Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e weave in and out of its fourteen stories, confronting their sense of otherness and struggling to find new ways of being and belonging. Heavily steeped in the swampy, feral heat of Florida, these stories venture beyond the problems of constructing an identity to the frontier of characters living their truth in a world that doesn't yet have a place for them.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLAURA CHOW REEVE is a writer and illustrator living in Richmond, Virginia.
