Intaglio: A collection of short stories and a novella (Original writing)

Intaglio is a fictional work of literature comprised of 16 short stories and one novella, and a critical introduction to the fantastic and uncanny genres. The collection explores the space of modern life—from Freud's Heimlich to Bachelard's oneiric home—through its persistent focus on skewed perception and juxtaposed images. The stories often employ narrator-characters, both first-person singular and plural, in order to address the theme of the Double, recalling Otto Rank's Doppelganger . Borrowing the techniques of narrative time as noted by Gerard Genette, the fantastic tales also attain a multiplicity of time in their confluence of frequency.
