My Bohemian Baptism And Then Some

Bag om My Bohemian Baptism And Then Some

Doug Brown and his characters are children of the twentieth century who find themselves hurtling toward the twenty-first. You'll find in his collection of twelve short stories a diversity of genres: horror, sci-fi, detective, dystopian fantasy, comedy, romance, slice of life, magical realism. But if you start to think you've pegged him to a genre, watch out. This collection takes you on a magical mystery tour renewing - nay, subverting - nearly every genre it engages. What you may not notice is the subtle accretion of elements of place, time, and local flavor. You, the reader, raise your head from the page to find that you are in a new world that feels like it has always been right there. You'll follow humor and pathos as signposts pointing you toward a heartbroken world teeming with the necessary and the inane, the magical and the profane. Sample his style that has been dubbed "New England Gothic" and described as "Yankee Flannery O'Connor." These stories are as ambitious as hers, as funny, as casually violent, as allegorical, and as graced. The allegories are invisible to the casual reader. The stories are deceptively simple. But in their depths they deal with the relationship of time and eternity, the reality of judgment, evil and its personification, the permanence of morals and their elusiveness in particular moments - the compromises life forces on the living. Be brave. You won't regret it. About the Author Doug Brown is in no way your typical author. After writing a slew of stories and winning the prestigious Katie Lehman Award for Fiction, he fell asleep under a sugar maple and awoke 40 years later ready to write some more. Doug holds degrees from Carnegie Mellon and Penn State and now calls western Pennsylvania home.
