Selah Saterstrom

Slab (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Selah addresses Katrina here by making the personal the site of aftermath. There's a great upwelling of work that's been done since the hurricane (Tretheway, et al), but this represents one of the more exciting attempts in prose.

There's already an audience eager for a new book from Selah-her particular blend of southern gothic, feminism, and intimate violence has really rabid fans who have been waiting for another book. Having this also close out the trilogy also gives us a hook to hang it on.

Readers who love the texture of the sentence, and the mimetic possibilities of language, will gravitate to Selah's work, despite its narrative difficulties.

Selah is the rare writer who uses experimental difficulty to access the political-she's a lot like Karen Tei Yamashita in that respect.

The use of the slab as a dramatic space, and the inclusion of Barbara Waters as Tiger's interlocutor, give the novel a spaciousness and humor that's new to her work.

The book will look similar to the first two volumes of the Beau Repose trilogy (Pink Institution and Meat and Spirit Plan) and have french flaps.
