Down the Road to Eternity: New Selected Fiction is a Collection of M.A.C. Farrant's work dating from 1985 to the present. Compiled of selected fiction from Sick Pigeon (1991), Raw Material (1993), Altered Statements (1995), Word of Mouth (1996), What's True, Darling (1997), Darwin Alone in the Universe (2003), and The Breakdown So Far (2007), it includes her complete new suite of eighteen stories, The North Pole, where our individual existence is bludgeoned by the threat of "end times"-climate change, species extinction, pandemics, and really bad politics. Each of these stories is an ongoing instance of the author's attempt at understanding language ironically, a search for the strikingly sublime in the awesomely absurd.
