  1. 1. Overstaying

    A darkly comic, absurdist novel about an impudent young woman who continues to live in her parents’ empty house in a small hometown she hates but can’t bring herself to leave. When a mysterious visitor turns up, she takes him in and becomes consumed by his ambiguous presence—part lover, part freeloader, part absence—while her imagination and memories send the narrative into surprising, room-like episodes rather than a straightforward plot.
