The first collection of stories from Lionel Shriver explores the idea of "property" in both senses of the word: real estate and stuff. These imaginative pieces illustrate how our possessions act as proxies for ourselves, and how tussles over ownership articulate the power dynamics of our relationships. In Shriver´s world, we may possess people and objects and places, but in turn they possess us.
