Specificatii
Darkly funny and brilliantly human, urgently fantastical and
implacably realistic. This is one of the best short story
collections I've read in years. It should be required reading for
anyone who's trying to understand America in 2017. --Paul La Farge,
author of The Night Ocean The eight stories in Things to Do When
You're Goth in the Country paint a vivid image of people living on
the fringes in America, people who don't do what you might expect
them to. Not stories of triumph over adversity, but something
completely other. Described in language that is brilliantly
sardonic, Woods's characters return repeatedly to places where they
don't belong--often the places where they were born. In Zombie, a
coming-of-age story like no other, two young girls find friendship
with a mysterious woman in the local cemetery. Take the Way Home
That Leads Back to Sullivan Street describes a lesbian couple
trying to repair their relationship by dropping acid at a Mensa
party. In A New Mohawk, a man in romantic pursuit of a female
political activist becomes inadvertently much more familiar with
the Palestine/Israel conflict than anyone would have thought
possible. And in the title story, Woods brings us into the mind of
a queer goth teenager who faces ostracism from her small-town
evangelical church. In the background are the endless American wars
and occupations and too many early deaths of friends and family.
This is fiction that is fresh and of the moment, even as it is
timeless.
