Produktinformationen zu „Roadless Homelands / Admiral of the Red (ePub)“
In this wry collection, Baroness Melody Von Smith explores our need for a place to call home, either literally or figuratively, and how this need is directly tied to our identity.
In "The Ocean doesn't Want Me Today", it is a physical place-Downeast Maine-that provides solace for the young woman contending with her mother's suicide by learning to be a lobsterman. In "The Snows of Jake Manjaro," it is Jake's all-consuming vocation as a war journalist that defines, preserves, and ultimately consumes him. "Yes, This is A Fine Promotion," (adapted from a stage play of the same name) features a young man who meets himself on a subway train in Chicago, while in "The High Price of the Wild Truth," a beach bum slowly transforms into his once-famous television character, a hired vigilante killer.
These stories-blunt, funny, and deceptively simple-showcase the Baroness's knack of capturing the wonderful ridiculousness of being human. Her characters are unforgettable, her realities fantastic, and her dialogue both crackling and crackerjack. All this, woven with a gentle, quirky satire and an odd optimism, makes for a wild ride with a satisfying splashdown.
