Counternarratives

Now in paperback, a bewitching collection of stories and novellas that are â€œsuspenseful, thought-provoking, mystical, and hauntingâ€ (Publishers Weekly)

Ranging from the seventeenth century to the present, and crossing multiple continents, Counternarratives draws upon memoirs, newspaper accounts, detective stories, and interrogation transcripts to create new and strange perspectives on our past and present. â€œAn Outtakeâ€ chronicles an escaped slaveâ€™s take on liberty and the American Revolution; â€œThe Strange History of Our Lady of the Sorrowsâ€ presents a bizarre series of events that unfold in Haiti and a nineteenth-century Kentucky convent; â€œThe Aeronautsâ€ soars between bustling Philadelphia, still-rustic Washington, and the theater of the U. S. Civil War; â€œRiversâ€ portrays a free Jim meeting up decades later with his former raftmate Huckleberry Finn; and in â€œAcrobatique,â€ the subject of a famous Edgar Degas painting talks back.
