Description
Book SynopsisNow in paperback, a bewitching collection of stories and novellas that are “suspenseful, thought-provoking, mystical, and haunting” (Publishers Weekly)Trade Review"
Counternarratives is an extraordinary work of literature. John Keene is a dense, intricate, and magnificent writer." -- Christine Smallwood - Harper’s
"Of the scope of William T. Vollmann or Samuel R. Delany, but with a kaleidoscopic intuition all its own,
Counternarratives is very easily one of the most vividly imagined and vitally timed books of the year. I haven’t felt so refreshed in quite a while as a reader." -- Blake Butler - Vice
"Keene exerts superb control over his stories, costuming them in the style of Jorge Luis Borges. Yet he preserves the undercurrent of excitement and pathos that accompanies his characters’ persecution and their groping toward freedom." -- Sam Sacks - The Wall Street Journal
