Counternarratives

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 slave`s 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 theater of the U.S. 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.
