The Jesus Storieso examines a people trying to accelerate the Second Coming by telling the story of Christ in every possible way. And in the O. Henry Award winning The Ceiling,o a man’s marriage begins to disintegrate after the sky starts slowly descending. Achingly beautiful and deceptively simple, Things That Fall from the Sky defies gravity as one of the most original story collections seen in recent years.
