STANDALONE
BY BERNARDO CRISTO
Ice Breaking is a meditation on the strange courage of saying the awkward thing first. A study of vulnerability disguised as a field guide for the modern stranger.
— LORE
Set against the quiet rituals of first encounters — train stations, late dinners, opening pages — Ice Breaking treats embarrassment as a sacred currency.
