Jacques J. Rancourt

Brocken Spectre (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Set in San Francisco, Brocken Spectre examines the way the past presses up against the present. The speaker, raised in the wake of the AIDS crisis, engages with ideas of belatedness, of looking back to a past that cannot be inhabited, of the ethics of memory, and of the dangers in memorializing and romanticizing tragedy.
