The world is monstrous, is made that way, and in the end consumes us all.”Terror through the eyes of the young is especially harrowing, and Evenson commandingly quarries the rich material of childhood fears. These are disturbing stories where dissociative states are the norm, and where, as one of Evenson’s troubled characters reflects, “Anything can happen: anything. These are stories about childhood terrors and fragmented families, about mental breakdowns and post-apocalyptic upheavals, about dissolution, devolution, and paralysis. In these strange stories, Evenson expertly navigates through the mind’s dark interstices, the gnarling strands of the troubled consciousness. And they certainly wouldn’t err in choosing any of the stories in Brian Evenson’s newest collection of short stories.įugue State is brimming with disaffected wanderers, paranoids, megalomaniacs, amnesiacs, frightened children, nameless ciphers, and, in one story, cannibals. ![]() Perhaps Slate, like most anthologies of classic short stories, just needs to broaden their scope. ![]() While the discussion was innocuous enough, what mainly came to my mind while listening was how many short stories get overshadowed by the few usual suspects. By Brian EvensonCoffee House Press, 2009 Slate recently broadcast a discussion of Cheever’s “The Swimmer” and “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” two admittedly great, but over-familiar, over-analyzed, over-anthologized short stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() According to Leonard Marcus, the editor saw Gág’s drawings and approached her to ask her to write a children’s book. She had a few well-attended shows, and at one of them, was “discovered” by a young editor at a publishing house that had just formed its children’s publishing team. She was an artist and printmaker who moved to New York to in the hopes that it would improve her career. Wanda Gág took a slightly different path. She published a rather serious adult novel immediately following An Old Fashioned Girl, but it wasn’t nearly as successful as her books for children, and she wouldn’t try to write another adult book under her own name again, instead trying out different pen names and publishing anonymously. She did, eventually, get that higher royalty rate, but I don’t think she ever reconciled herself to writing for children. When Alcott, on the success of Little Women, asked for a higher royalty rate on her next book, her publisher, as Leonard says played “mercilessly on Alcott’s self-doubt and grimly the worst for An Old-Fashioned Girl, he reminded her that as a ‘second class storyteller’ she ‘ought not to expect more….Surely you don’t want an additional percentage on a failure.’” Alcott’s opinion of her own genre (and her own writing!) was so low that she was talked out of the higher paycheck that she dearly needed. ![]() In Minders of Make-Believe, Marcus tells a story about Alcott’s publisher taking advantage of her low opinion of her own work. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Black literature and music provide the stories and soundtrack for these turbulent and hopeful times, and Sara finds herself drawn in by conversations of education, politics and a brighter tomorrow with Jonas, a local schoolteacher.

In part, that’s because Emily’s whole thing is to be elusive, to make you not know quite what to do with her. But Emily Brontë - with her child ghosts sobbing at the window and her brutal, violent men Emily Brontë, whose 200th birthday is Monday - I have never quite known what to do with her. ![]() Of the canonical three, personally, I will go to bat for both Austen and for Charlotte Brontë - witty women and sad men having charged conversations in the drawing room, sign me up.
