AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Blue is a collection of interrelated stories, following the fives of a group of young adults over four years of relationships, jobs and big life decisions. Each story focuses on a point of transition for one character, but, cumulatively, the work gains power as a multiview exploration of the thresholds to adulthood.' (Publication summary)
