Counternarratives

English

By (author): John Keene

Ranging from the seventeenth century to our current moment, and crossing multiple continents, Counternarratives stories and novellas draw upon memoirs, newspaper accounts, detective stories, interrogation transcripts, and speculative fiction to create new and strange perspectives on our past and present. An Outtake chronicles an escaped slaves take on liberty and the American Revolution; The Strange History of Our Lady of the Sorrows presents a bizarre series of events that unfold in a nineteenth-century Kentucky convent; The Aeronauts soars between bustling Philadelphia, still-rustic Washington, and the theatre of the US Civil War; Rivers presents a free Jim meeting up decades later with his former raftmate Huckleberry Finn; and in Acrobatique, the subject of a famous Edgar Degas painting talks back.
