Happily Engaged

HAPPILY ENGAGED is BEN ROTH's debut fiction collection, 16 tales of social disconnection and dysfunctions set against a backdrop of urban gentrification, digital distancing, and isolation in crowded places, where technology indequately bridges the distances between us. The stories are punchy, gut-twisting explorations of the damage inflicted on the modern psyche, but they are also wistful explorations of the sacrifices made of us in the modern age.
