Beschreibung

Lucy Corin's "e;eye popping, enlightening read"e; (Publishers Weekly), now in paperback.At the heart of Lucy Corin's dazzling collection are one hundred apocalypses: visions of loss and destruction, vexation and crisis, revelation and revolution, sometimes only a few lines long. In these haunting and wickedly funny stories, an apocalypse might come in the form of the end of a relationship or the end of the world, but they all expose the tricky landscape of our longing for a clean slate. In three longer stories, contemporary American life is playfully, if disturbingly, distorted: the rite of passage for adolescent girls involves choosing the madman who will accompany them into adulthood; California burns to the ground while, on the east coast, life carries on; and a soldier returns home broke from war to encounter a witch who extends a dangerous offer.At once mournful and explosively energetic, One Hundred Apocalypses and Other Apocalypses is "e;deeply rooted in the politics and upheaval of our times"e; (Lambda Literary).
