Produktbeschreibung
Grace for Grace brings celebrated cult filmmaker Steve De Jarnatt's distinctive voice and cinematic vision to the page. Lush inner lives, idiosyncratic syntax, and sweeping scale characterize these wildly imaginative stories, which present characters in search of meaning and belonging, and often, at the same time, redemption and revenge. "Rubiaux Rising" (a Best American Short Stories selection) is a tale of triumph amid calamity during Hurricane Katrina, while "Her Great Blue" a surreal interspecies love story. "Mulligan" reveals the private pain of parents traveling across the country to give away their children, and "Wraiths in a Swelter" is both a ghost story and a confessional memoir--following a deliriously exhausted EMT through a deadly Chicago heat wave. Many of the stories in Grace for Grace are set against the backdrop of natural or manmade catastrophes. These disasters test the characters' limits as they confront sudden changes and extremes, discovering through their unexpected resourcefulness and endurance something beyond suffering. . . something that approaches the sublime.
