Dean Gessie

Anthropocene (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"Readers searching for the artful language of Fitzgerald and the cultural relevance of Achebe in a volume that speaks directly to global citizens of the twenty-first century have finally found their lost ark in Anthropocene. It's not difficult to find writers today who explore problematic issues within our brave new world of cultural collisions, gender politics and new-look human subjugation. What is incredibly rare, however, is to find a writer willing to criticize contemporary social ills with both empathic concern and vehement distaste-as Gessie does-while remaining faithful to the craft of literary fiction. There's no dark corner he won't articulately explore in this astonishing collection of stories. Readers will wrestle with Gessie's thinly veiled accusations of our own complicity with social injustice and, yet, they will also laugh along with his wide array of marginalized, irreverent voices. Anthropocene is, at once, a buoyant, hilarious and deeply disturbing experience." Keith Kupsch Director of the Joshua Weinzweig Creative Writing Program Pickering College
