How We Are Hungry

How We Are Hungry is a collection of stories about people searching for connection, purpose, forgiveness, and belonging. Set in locations ranging from remote foreign countries to familiar American communities, the stories follow travelers, activists, families, lovers, and loners as they grapple with grief, responsibility, isolation, and the consequences of their choices.

Among the collection's stories are "The Only Meaning of the Oil-Wet Water," which revisits Will and Hand after the events of You Shall Know Our Velocity!; "After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned," narrated by a dog separated from its owner; and "What It Means When a Crowd in a Faraway Nation Takes a Soldier Representing Your Own Nation, Shoots Him, Drags Him from His Vehicle and Then Mutilates Him in the Dust," which examines the personal impact of a violent international event. Together, the stories explore loss, compassion, moral uncertainty, and the ways people struggle to find meaning in an unpredictable world.
