Ranging from the seventeenth century to the present, and crossing multiple continents, Counternarratives draws upon memoirs, newspaper accounts, detective stories, and interrogation transcripts to create new and strange perspectives on our past and present. An Outtake chronicles an escaped slave's take on liberty and the American Revolution; The Strange History of Our Lady of the Sorrows presents a bizarre series of events that unfold in Haiti and a nineteenth-century Kentucky convent; The Aeronauts soars between bustling Philadelphia, still-rustic Washington, and the theater of the U. S. Civil War; Rivers portrays a free Jim meeting up decades later with his former raftmate Huckleberry Finn; and in Acrobatique, the subject of a famous Edgar Degas painting talks back.
