Overview
Paul Park is one of modern fictionās major innovators. With exotic settings and characters truly alien and disturbingly normal, his novels and stories explore the shifting interface between traditional narrative and luminous dream, all in the service of a deeper humanism.
āClimate Change,ā original to this volume, is an intimate and erotic take on a global environmental crisis. āA Resistance to Theoryā chronicles the passionate (and bloody) competition between the armed adherents of postmodern literary schools. āA Conversation with the Authorā gives readers a harrowing look behind the curtains of an MFA program. In āA Brief History of SFā a fan encounters the ruined man who first glimpsed the ruined cities of Mars. āCreative Nonfictionā showcases a professorās eager collaboration with a student intent on wrecking his career. The only nonfiction piece, āA Homily for Good Friday,ā was delivered to a stunned congregation at a New England church.
Plus: Our candid and colorful Outspoken Interview with one of todayās most accomplished and least conventional authors, in which personal truth is evaded, engaged, and altered, all in one shot.
