| Résumé |
"Cosmogony, like Loudermilk, is about writing, genre, gender, money, and power, and the ways in which institutional structures (family, marriage, media, language) act upon individuals and particularly women. They all display Lucy's profound wit, range, inventiveness, and insight. In "A Throw of the Dice," (published in Bomb), a newly married woman translating Mallarmé poems responds to a Craigslist ad and finds herself writing "erotic diaries" for money. "Cosmogony," the title story, is narrated by someone whose friend starts dating a demon. "Ersatz Panda" (published in Granta) is about a cat named Panda"-- Provided by publisher. |
