A magical short novel from the author of All My Friends are Superheroes. A robber charges into a bank with a loaded gun, but instead of taking any money he steals an item of sentimental value from each person. Once he has made his escape, strange things start to happen to the victims. A tattoo comes to life, a husband turns into a snowman, a baby starts to shit money. And Stacey Hinterland discovers that she's shrinking, a little every day, and there is seemingly nothing that she or her husband can do to reverse the process. The Tiny Wife is a weird and wonderful modern fable. Small, but perfectly formed, it will charm, delight and unnerve in equal measure.

Short and sweet. This is my second Andrew Kaufman book and I really enjoyed it. He has some weird ideas for a story, but the underlying messages are endearing. Side note - I like a short book, but this was really short. 112 pages, plus lots of pictures, blank space and 20+ pages devoted to a preview...
Perfect little read with a great message. Thanks goes to Words of A Reader for introducing me to this little gem.
