From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of the The Orphan Masters Son comes a major short-story collection for readers of Junot Díaz and George Saunders. In post-Katrina Louisiana a young man and his new girlfriend search for the mother of his son. In Palo Alto a programmer whose wife has a rare disease finds solace in a digital simulacrum of the president. In contemporary Berlin a former Stasi agent ponders his past. And in the stunning title story a woman with cancer rages against the idea of her family without her. Hugely inventive and endlessly energeticInteresting Facts is a funny heart-wrenching surprising collection that shows Johnson writing at the top of his form.
