Resistance, Revolution and Other Love Stories by K.

Resistance, Revolution and Other Love Stories by K.

Is love the most revolutionary of all acts?

In this wide-ranging collection of twelve short stories, a startling array of characters explore their perspectives on love. The stories sweep from sharp realism to heady allegory, haunting fables to sci-fi thrillers, starring teens and drifting husbands, futuristic automatons and talking dogs, gardeners and gatekeepers, a blind girl, a young father, and many more.

In “Calamity Jane,” see love through the eyes of teenage boys obsessed with the calamitous girl of the title; revisit the famous Greek love story in “Orpheus and Eurydice”; Dan’s mechanical automaton seems to be his truest friend in the harshly conformist world of “Automatonomatopoeia”; a Crimean revolutionary gets waylaid at a mysterious gate in “The Invitation”; on a construction site in Yugoslavia, a young man tries to come to grips with unconventional fatherhood in “Vikings”; and in “The Conversation”, a blind woman manages her relationship with a hectoring mother while finding other types of love.

These are just a few of the tales in Resistance, Revolution and Other Love Stories. Anyone interested in the struggle against stifling societal powers and the potency of love will see some of themselves in these pages. By turns exciting, meditative, and funny, these enjoyable, thought-provoking stories will linger long after the book is closed.

Chasing Byron by Jeb Stewart Harrison

Chasing Byron by Jeb Stewart Harrison

1945: a nation at war and a family in tatters. It’s springtime in the Jim Crow south, and young polio survivor Wyatt Bowman has been given a divine assignation, delivered through the voice of his deceased brother, to snap Byron Nelson’s famous PGA tournament winning streak. But when the local redneck judge attempts to frame an innocent black man for the rape of Wyatt’s adolescent cousin, the Bowman family, led by their obstinate, blind matriarch, “Boots,” decides to fight for justice. The real rapist, the crazy swamp rat cousin, is roaming the bayous with a pet copperhead draped around his neck, and it’s only a matter of time before the truth is, at last, revealed. Chasing Byron is Southern literary gumbo, served up with an unlikely mix of ingredients: golf, the war in Japan, the fading aristocracy, racial injustice, a tree frog named FDR, Jr., and a young man grappling with an unfamiliar, disturbing bout of cosmic interference.
