商品簡介
Bob Seger’s House and Other Stories is a collection of short stories written by some of Michigan’s most well-known fiction writers. This collection of twenty-two short stories serves as a celebration not only of the tenth anniversary of the Made in Michigan Writers Series in 2016 but also of the rich history of writing and storytelling in the region. As series editors Michael Delp and M. L. Leibler state in their preface, "the stories contained in this anthology are a way to stay connected to each other. Think of them as messages sent from all over the map, stitching readers and writers together through stories that continue to honor the ancient art of the fire tale, the hunting epic, and all of the ways language feeds the blood of imagination."
The scope of this project reflects the dynamic and diverse writing that is currently taking place throughout the state as well as the country by people who consider their home and essences to be the Great Lakes state. Stories are as far-ranging as the state itself, from the streets of Detroit and the iconic presence of the auto industry to the wild tracts of the Upper Peninsula, where some of the oldest rocks in the world lie exposed to the outskirts of a couple on the west coast trying to figure out parenting. The book vibrates with that tension, of metal versus rock and human frailty taking on the pitfalls and hardships of daily living in this world.
In his foreword, Charles Baxter asks, "Does a region give rise to a particular kind of literature? Michigan is so fiercely diverse in its landscapes, its economy, and its population demographics that it presents anybody who wants to write about it with a kind of blank slate. You can’t summarize the state easily." These storytellers exude a "Michigan aesthetic" in their writing, something that cannot be learned in a textbook or taught in a classroom but can be felt through the tales of these storytellers. It is something that just is.
The experience of picking up this collection is akin to taking a drive from the mechanized world and arriving several hours later in one of the wildest places on Earth. Readers of short fiction will enjoy the multitude of voices in this anthology.
