Publisher's Synopsis
Choose to end your life early by boarding a mythical locomotive running on an unknown timetable and fueled by the ashes of regret. Be a professional dreamer who'd venture too far out on the fringe, becoming stranded in a world too bizarre to exist much longer. Your only chance to return home is via riding the apparition of a mass transit system that materialized at the station years after its catastrophic demise. Don't mind the dead passengers reliving the last moments before their deaths. In the Seven Sundays of September, take your seat in a stadium with 186,000 other fervid fans engaging in a Roman Coliseum meets Shirley Jackson's The Lottery contest to determine a new leader. In a world where societal norms have been shaped by the writings of American poet, Ezra Pound, visit the castle of a prestigious sculptor famous for his creations of living art.
