Beskrivelse af The Dominant Animal: Stories
Named a Best Book of 2020 by The Guardian, Southwest Review, and Publishers Weekly"[The stories] are short, but their mood and imagery are lasting, and reflective of brutal truths of the commerce of human civilization . . . chilling, finely tuned pieces on power and survival." --Los Angeles TimesA collection of innovative and ambitious short stories from a visionary young literary artistIn The Dominant Animal-Kathryn Scanlan's adventurous, unsettling debut collection-compression is key. Sentences have been relentlessly trimmed, tuned, and teased for maximum impact, and a ferocious attention to rhythm and sound results in a palpable pulse of excitability and distress. The nature of love is questioned at a golf course, a flower shop, an all-you-can-eat buffet. The clay head of a man is bought and displayed as a trophy. Interior life manifests on the physical plane, where characters-human and animal-eat and breathe, provoke and injure one another. With exquisite control, Scanlan moves from expansive moods and fine afternoons to unease and violence-and also from deliberate and generative ambiguity to shocking, revelatory exactitude. Disturbances accrue as the collection progresses. How often the conclusions open-rather than tie-up. How they twist alertly. No mercy, a character says-and these stories are merciless and strange and absolutely masterful.
