Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Lucy Corinâs dazzling new collection is powered by one hundred apocalypses: a series of short stories, many only a few lines, that illuminate moments of vexation and crisis, revelations and revolutions. An apocalypse might come in the form of the end of a relationship or the end of the world, but what it exposes is the tricky landscape of our longing for a clean slate.
Three longer stories are equally visionary: in ÂEyes of Dogs,â a soldier returns from war and encounters a witch who may in fact be his mother; ÂMadmenâ describes an America where children who reach adolescence choose the madman who will accompany them into adulthood; in ÂGodzilla versus the Smog Monster,â a teenager is flustered by his older, wilder neighbor while California burns on the other side of the continent.
At once mournful and explosively energetic, One Hundred Apocalypses and Other Apocalypses makes manifest the troubled conscience of an uneasy time.
