A Concordance of One’s Life
“‘A Concordance of One’s Life’…lends itself quite easily to artistic interpretation because, in many ways, it’s about a struggle to find meaning.” – San Francisco Chronicle
A Concordance of One’s Life is Jim Nelson’s first collection of short fiction. Featuring ten stories, Nelson introduces you to a unique menagerie of fictive worlds that abut the fine edge of what’s possible and what lays just beyond while remaining intensely personal, quietly human, and deftly enjoyable.
Everywhere Man
“Nelson manages to merge two seemingly disparate worlds: the hard science of code and the creativity of fiction. The result is a fantastic story rendered unusually real.” – KQED Arts
It was a year ago today we discovered the Everywhere Man…
Join the search for a mysterious man obscured and faceless but omnipresent in millions of tourist photos taken along San Francisco’s historic cable car routes. Never identified, his anonymity quietly frustrates the fabric of the city’s digital history until the final explosive moment arrives when he can no longer be ignored.
