Floater
A Collection of Short Stories

An orphan searching for a sense of self and belonging in late-nineties Massachusetts. Former high school classmates navigating existential pressure and relationships after a suicide epidemic hits their wealthy Rhode Island town. Two filmmakers wrestling with masculinity, friendship, and cultural expectations during a trip to a film festival in Miami.

These are just a handful of the many stories featured in this debut collection of short fiction by Sharisse Zeroonian.

Previously published in outlets such as The Armenian Weekly -- and some, not yet published until now -- the stories in Floater explore the inner lives of characters contending with the ambiguity, stagnancy, and restlessness that comes with human life.
