Fiction. Today is her birthday. Her sisters are Merna and Anastasia, who once told her it was good luck to touch all doorknobs. Her boyfriends are Aaron, whom she just met, and Erik, whose name is actually Todd. Her grandfather worked in a tin can factory. Now he bakes blueberry pies and laughs and says it's all true. In the Carlsbad Caverns, Bill Murray wields a giant robot, swallowing families. Today is in Walmart, in Denny's, at the ice rink. Tomorrow there will be blood on the zamboni. Tomorrow there will be a voice that locks the door behind her. Set among haunted parking lots and AM-PMs and home invasions, TODAY & TOMORROW melts identity, memory, and consciousness into a hypnotic and hilarious adventure of body and mind, the haunting absurdity of what it means to be a person that can make up everything but itself.

“This book would like to give you an ice cream, but you will have to get in the van.”
—Amelia Gray

“Ofelia Hunt is the balladeer of the doe-eyed detrivores of overstimulation. Within TODAY & TOMORROW readers find the fried and the frayed nerves in the youth of the Hyperworld (which, let’s be honest, could go up in flames or go up in hysterics any minute now and thank goodness for that), Bad(Ass) grandfathers, and the phenomenon of Bill-Murray-as-Pooka. All will be well, America, as long as the rims keep spinning and Hunt keeps writing.”
Matthew Simmons

“TODAY & TOMORROW crashes through the windows of strip malls and paints the hypertrophic aisles with bristly-creepy hilarity.”
