Madeline Cash: Earth Angel, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In this reissue of her electric debut collection, Madeline Cash, the author of Lost Lambs , synthesizes the godlessness of a digital age into a glimmering, life-affirming collage of stories. Earth Angel is a book like no other, a story collection of postmodern angst that swallowed the smartphone.

An Isis recruit, an adolescent beauty queen, and a childless millennial walk into a bar. A Biblical plague rains down head lice, aerial drone strikes, and gender nonconforming frogs. An app throws a slumber party for a friendless office worker. It's a world of images both familiar and warped: Texans in the winter, the Taliban in springtime, Teslas with COEXIST bumper stickers, Frozen 5 in Arabic, architectural consistency laws in Laurel Canyon, the longest recorded nosebleed in history.

Published to acclaim in 2023 and reissued now with revised stories, Earth Angelcaptures, with brilliant surrealism and cutting humor, the electric chaos of the digital age and the post-millennial generation.
