The
Importance of Shoes
by James Johnson "Bring
me bad shoes and I'll cry."
Vanessa
is addicted. Marise collects. Sebastian sells, Dyaln trells
people to stop. In a world where new shoes are a new you,
where the country you are from marks you as undesirable, and
chatting to a stranger can lead to rape, four lives revolve
around a story of passion, seduction, infidelity and some
amazing shoes.
