This is one of the best short story collections Ive read in years. It should be required reading for anyone whos trying to understand America in 2017." Paul La Farge, author of The Night OceanThe eight stories in Things to Do When Youre Goth in the Country paint a vivid image of people living on the fringes in America, people who dont do what you might expect them to. Not stories of triumph over adversity, but something completely other.Described in language that is brilliantly sardonic, Woodss characters return repeatedly to places where they dont belongoften the places where they were born. In "Zombie," a coming-of-age story like no other, two young girls find friendship with a mysterious woman in the local cemetery. "Take the Way Home That Leads Back to Sullivan Street" describes a lesbian couple trying to repair their relationship by dropping acid at a Mensa party. In "A New Mohawk," a man in romantic pursuit of a female political activist becomes inadvertently much more familiar with the Palestine/Israel conflict than anyone would have thought possible. And in the title story, Woods brings us into the mind of a queer goth teenager who faces ostracism from her small-town evangelical church.In the background are the endless American wars and occupations and too many early deaths of friends and family. This is fiction that is fresh and of the moment, even as it is timeless....3013970Things to Do When Youre Goth in the Country221287https://www.gandhi.com.mx/things-to-do-when-youre-goth-in-the-country-9781609807467/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2300148/494a634e-3fc2-4c90-a880-44f7942a8c54.jpg?v=638383786726770000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20179781609807467_W3siaWQiOiI2ZDAxMDZlNy1lZmJiLTQ1MjUtYjUzYi1hYTgzMDE2Y2VkMzgiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI4MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjY1LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIxNSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781609807467_Nominated for the 2018 Lambda Literary Award for FictionDarkly funny and brilliantly human, urgently fantastical and implacably realistic.
