Featuring original works from authors like J.G. Ballard and Nicci French, the book challenges conventional narrative structure by confining its stories to the space of a single postcard. These mini-narratives range from a couple trapped in an inescapable limbo to a man watching the terrifying onset of World War I. Paired with nearly eighty full-color illustrations, the text and images work together to explore larger, unseen lives extending just past the margins.
