Overview

Most minds are stranger than we admit and more ordinary than we fear. What It Costs is a collection of fifteen short stories about the gap between how a mind works and the world it has to live in. About conditions that have names and conditions that don't yet. About the systems people build to get through ordinary days, what those systems cost, and what it means to find out that the problem was never what it was thought to be. The narrators in these stories are not broken. They are managing. The Tuesday morning when your body responds to the world differently. The thought you didn't choose, but that persists. The space between knowing something and being able to say it. The calm that arrived too late, or not yet, or never. The work it takes to be. This collection does not explain its narrators. It does not tell you what to feel about them. It stays inside the experience: the ordinary, sometimes frightening experience of being a kind of person the world hasn't quite made room for yet. The conditions here are real.
