The Inheritance Collection is a set of five standalone novellas by Anthony Marra, all released in 2019. Each story is a self-contained piece that can be read independently, though they share a common thread of family secrets, buried desires, and the things people hide from those they love most. Marra brings the same sharp prose and dark humor that made his novels A Constellation of Vital Phenomena and The Tsar of Love and Techno so well received.
These novellas were designed for quick reading. None of them take more than an hour or two to finish. The Lion’s Den, probably the best known of the five, is a darkly funny story about sacrifice and betrayal. Everything My Mother Taught Me, Can You Feel This?, Zenith Man, and The Weddings round out the collection, each one a compact story that hits harder than its page count would suggest.
