Things are seldom entirely what they seem in the short stories in Joseph Clark's new collection "Jungle Wedding." A paranoid father believes the government has bugged his house... not realising his family's really the subject of an elaborate and outrageous sociology experiment. A woman spends her time shopping in tears, feeling anonymous because her of her ex-husband's behavior, not knowing she the staff considers her an institution in her local mall. And a woman returns to her childhood home to prepare for her mothers funeral, but ends using the building as a massive but anonymous mausoleum. Clarke, who is currently living and working in Vermillion, South Dakota, told Minnesota Public Radio's Euan Kerr he is so interested in the idea someone is always watching... that he writes with a camera in mind.
