In spare, elegant prose, debut author Stanford Pritchard portrays loneliness and dissociation in profound and unsettling ways. In 'Homage to Swega', a man must complete an unusual ritual to ensure that his flight arrives safely; in 'Reginald Used the Subjunctive Today', Father O'Mallon struggles to protect and educate wayward boys in a post-apocalyptic, post-grammatical world; and in 'Contact', a tour guide and tour speak the same language, but fail to comprehend each other's meaning. The culminating effect of "Terminal Vibrato & Other Stories" is a startling realisation that even in today's over-connected world, true connection and communion often exceeds our grasp.
