Willful Creatures

In Aimee Bender’s Willful Creatures, listeners are transported to a whimsical world where love manifests in the most unexpected forms. Featuring a boy with keys for fingers, a mother whose children are potatoes, and a little boy with an iron head among pumpkin-headed kin, the narrative blends surrealism with poignant emotion. Bender's lyrical prose invites reflection on the complexities of the human condition through her imaginative storytelling.
