Not unlike his literary forebearers Donald Barthelme and Robert Coover, Damian Dressick brings us a crackling series of dispatches fresh from the postmodernist front.
This daring gathering of brief, innovative stories tantalizes the intellect nearly as much as it illuminates the human heart. Drawing from his quiver of flash fictions, prose poems, lists, pie charts and micros, Dressick's narratives are fully engaged with the wild disorder that everyday feels more and more like the sine qua non of our fractured now. Meet meth-addicted grizzly bears, a coal mining Jesus, grieving alcoholic parents, and murderous villagers whose only speech is culinary in this fleeting edge tour de force....Fables of the Deconstruction.
Damian Dressick is the author of the novel 40 Patchtown. His creative work has appeared in more than fifty literary journals and anthologies, including W.W. Norton’s New Micro: Exceptionally Short Fiction, Post Road, New Orleans Review, Cutbank, failbetter.com, Hobart, Smokelong Quarterly, and New World Writing. A Blue Mountain Residency Fellow, he is the winner of the Harriette Arnow Award and the Jesse Stuart Prize. He co-hosts WANA: LIVE, a virtual reading series that brings some of the best in Appalachian writing to the world. He teaches at Clarion University of Pennsylvania.
