Greet the Dawn, by Janet Lindquist Black (a Manhattan psychotherapist), provides us a trove of short stories which consistently achieved publication and prizes in the late 1970s and '80s. Two of these unique tales won honorable mention in The Best American Short Stories of the years 1978 ad 1982.
Stories include:
. two sisters who send their parents back to fifth grade.
. a boy living in a Finnish-American lumber town in 1929 coping with primitive fears.
. a middle-aged father who undertakes an architectural re-rendering of his life.
This is experimental writing, inspired by the author's admiration of writers such as Proust and Clarice Lispector. One piece of unconscious writing, drawn from a place of dreams or primary process, evolves without restraints of ego or deliberation. What flows through this collection is Janet Black's creative play of language, wrapped in luminous imagery.
