Come, look.
Continuing our theme of literary pairings: Joy Williams’ second novel THE CHANGELING (this is also our book club pick for June!) and Mark Fisher’s THE WEIRD AND THE EERIE. THE CHANGELING follows a young alcoholic mother as she travels to a remote island on the Northeastern coast inhabited by crazed adults and feral children. As her emotional world falls in on itself, the real world turns strange and surrealistic. THE WEIRD AND THE EERIE studies the very qualities that animate the narrative of THE CHANGELING. Ranging from Lovecraft to Stanislaw Lem to BITCHES BREW, Fisher accessibly examines the role of the "weird" in art and its generic conventions. A must read for fans of speculative and strange fiction. #theweirdandtheeerie #thechangeling #markfisher #joywilliams #bookstagram
Come out tonight for First Friday Gallery Hop from 7 PM until close (~9:45 PM). We'll have a poetry reading at 8 PM. While you're here, you can check out a nice literary pairing: two semi-autobiographical Argentine novels that examine issues of self-identity. Cesar Aira's THE LINDEN TREE reconstructs the childhood memories of a boy born in the same year and city as the author himself. As he negotiates the relationship of his two parents and freely roams Buenos Aires, the nature his recollections call into question how our memories shape our present and how our present shapes the memories of our past. In the THE DESERT AND ITS SEED by Jorge Baron Biza, a Buenos Aires woman suffers a devastating acid attack by her ex-husband. As she and her son fervently attempt to reverse the damage and physically reconstruct her face, her identity starts to slip away. #thelindentree #thedesertanditsseed #bookstagram #wsnc
