Threnody for Sturgeon and Selected Stories
A poet confronts a whale, a teacher has an in-depth conversation with a baby, a young woman becomes boxing champion of the world and gives her prize away, someone may or may not drown. Set along the ocean, in the jungle, and in Berkeley, California, these are stories of misguided adventures at sea, childhood, and loss.
James M. LeCuyer's collection of short fiction offers a Kafkaesque twist on reality, dipping dreamlike nostalgia in the absurd. Enriched with details about pre-computer and pre-smartphone life, Threnody for Sturgeon and Selected Stories will delight anyone who came of age in the 1960s and 1970s. But everyone will be drawn in by the intelligence, irony, and wild humor of these stories.
