PEOPLE COLLIDE - ISLE MCELROY GEBUNDEN

“One of the year's most compelling reads.”— Washington Post “Its naturalness and ease with the
most fundamental questions of existence make it a big project knocking around in a small
package.”— New York Times From the acclaimed author of The Atmospherians   a gender-bending 
body-switching novel that explores marriage  identity  and sex  and raises profound questions
about the nature of true partnership. When Eli leaves the cramped Bulgarian apartment he shares
with Elizabeth  his more organized and successful wife  he discovers that he now inhabits her
body. Not only have he and his wife traded bodies  but Elizabeth  living as Eli  has
disappeared without a trace. What follows is Eli’s search across Europe and to America for his
missing wife—and a roving  no-holds-barred exploration of gender and embodied experience. As
Eli comes closer to finding Elizabeth—while learning to exist in her body—he begins to wonder
what effect this metamorphosis will have on their relationship and how long he can maintain the
illusion of living as someone he isn’t. Will their new marriage wither completely? Or is this
transformation the very thing Eli and Elizabeth need for their marriage to thrive? A rich 
rewarding exploration of ambition and sacrifice  desire and loss  People Collide is a portrait
of shared lives that shines a refreshing light on everything we thought we knew about love 
sexuality  and the truth of who we are.
