The Fifth Eye - Roisin McLean - Bog

Bag om The Fifth Eye

This debut story collection depicts a wide range of compelling characters and their worlds: a hermaphrodite falling in love, a veteran Marine's "piercing" attempt to cope with PTSD, preparations for the anticipated destruction of a hurricane, aging and the aftermath of breast cancer, immigrants fleeing famine, a mother's worst fear, and the mystifications of love versus simple desire. As a tone painting, as well as an artwork painted with words, the final story "Galatea" offers a mind-bending, multimedia experience of the complex relationship between two artists and the workings of their minds. The book is not a linked story collection, yet some settings, subjects, phrases, styles, and themes weave throughout the collection, bringing to each stand-alone story a broad resonance and perspective.
