Synopsis

These loosely connected stories are laced with the familiar and the uncanny, the real and the surreal, the ordinary and the fabulistic. A documentary filmmaker refuses to give up on finding his daughter who mysteriously disappears by the river. A small-time real estate agent recovers from a brief psychotic episode upon discovering his fiancée's affair. An actress struggles to grasp reality when the recordings of lucid dreams are used in movies instead of live performances. An eccentric teenager recounts his first romance from beyond the grave.

Spanning the boundaries of literary and speculative fiction, The Reincarnations revolves around multiple forms of Zenlike rebirth. Equal parts raw emotion and wild imagination, Nathan Elias's debut story collection ushers in an electrifying yet tender new voice in fiction.

Goodreads review by Pete on April 30, 2021

Reincarnations is a set of short stories. You might envisage them like planets orbiting a central star which represents, above all else, loss. So the stories are related to each other through the same sort of tenuous links and pulls that interplay between the sun and its attendant planets. But this......more

Nathan Elias writes fast and from the bottom of his heart. He finds hope and a little solace in the midst of catastrophe. All the stories in this collection show that hope in many forms and never betray it. His imagination is far from lackluster and never indulgent, as is the case with many young (o......more
