Some of the most insightful and disturbing essays I've ever read. D'Ambrosio's incredibly imagery captures a sense of what corporatism has done to America; he also writes about people who fell through the big holes in the cultural webs, the kooks and visionaries. His pen cuts deep into the consensual bias and the ink oozes into places the reader wanted so much to pretend weren't there. He is perhaps one of our finest prose poets writing today.

These 11 essays span continents, culture, and class. Fiction writer and essayist Charles D'Ambrosio inspects manufactured homes in Washington state; tours the rooms of Hell House, a Pentecostal "haunted house" in Texas; visits the dormitories and hallways of a Russian orphanage; and explores the textual space of family letters. He introduces us to a defender of gray whales; the creator of Bisquat, a utopian experiment in Austin, Texas; and a younger version of himself, searching for "culture" in Seattle in 1974. He analyzes the nuances of Mary Kay Letourneau's trial and contemplates the persistence of rain and memory. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
