| 520 | . | ‡a"Eleven short masterworks from this great American writer of catastrophe fiction, in which lives are upended by broken hearts and dams, vainglorious wars, fires, and shipwrecks. Across several centuries and diverse American landscapes, Shepard holds us in his grip. We witness the 1935 Labor Day hurricane in Florida unfolding from multiple points of view; we read the letters of 1864 between Lucy in Boone, NC ("Three privates are currently sleeping soundly on our porch in their muddy blankets") and her great love William, on the march along the Franklin & Columbia Turnpike ("I can't write much for it seems we are looking for a fight every minute"). In "The Devil's Broom," we meet the men battling the Northwest wildfires of 1910 and in the title story, the stubborn Constance, who had "no gift for flirtation" with men, preferring Minna, her best friend and "queen of bad influences"; the reckoning between them unfolds in part on the great Cunard liner Lusitania. These profound stories are much more than historical fictions; they bring into shining relief all that acts of God or human-engineered distasters will render fleeting and terribly precious; they expose our proud convictions as vain in the face of the forces that come to sweep us away. In the midst of ill winds and sinking ships, Shepard raises up what is best in us: the friendships that comfort and sustain, the consolations of our written words to one another, the curiosities of our love for one another on a beleaguered planet"-- Provided by publisher. | |
