Surreal South '09 Surreal South '09by Laura Benedict
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Sublimity, as we choose to define it, is that quality a story possesses when it is, in its entirety, completely unpredictable as well as completely inevitable and authentic.... A story-a real story, of the type that we've gathered here; not the mock-stories, the painless, bloodless vignettes that make up so much of today's literary fiction-involves apocalypse. Apocalypse means a revelation (the literal meaning of the word apocalypse is a lifting of the veil), and a very specific type of revelation: the destruction of an old order, followed by a time of disorder and chaos, and the replacement of the old order by a new and entirely different order.... Sublimity and apocalypse. Anti-rationality and surreality. The call for the literary artist is nothing less than to reveal and remake everything; and the writers whose work you are about to experience have boldly answered that call. We invite you to abandon to its well-deserved fate the wreckage of the rational, and to enjoy. - from the Introduction, by Laura & Pinckney Benedict What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
