Year of Graduation: 2024

“The Odd One” is a collection of fantastic stories about women and their relationships, living and overcoming the experience of loneliness, separation and death, encountering the inexplicable and supernatural, interacting with non—human species, xenophobia, memory and the passage of time. A collection of stories about life in different worlds of the future and the past: submarines on a flooded Earth, a mansion overcrowded with ghosts, an institute for the study of bygone eras equipped with time machines... Worlds where the boundary between the familiar and the unknown is thinning. How to behave when faced with others, whether they are people from another age, mermaids or ghosts, and what if the odd one is yourself?
