About this product
Product Information
In the stories that make up Selected Blackouts , characters struggle with questions of faith, diet, sex, addiction, mortality, while often on the verge of -- or in the midst of -- cracking up: A cooking show host, for example, breaks down after a guest on his show refuses to eat barbecued pork spare ribs ( Emperor 'Q ); a young man starts to unravel, while drinking with friends at Christmastime, believing that they all know embarrassing secrets about him and one another ( How Much Do They Know? ); in between reading chapters of a stop-smoking self-help book ( Smoking ), a man fights with his live-in partner as he confronts the panic-inducing void left in place of his former habit; teenage boys auto-asphyxiate themselves as a means of entertainment and escape ( Blackout I ) and then later steal a generator from their drug dealer during a cross-continental power-outage and possible terrorist attack ( Blackout II ). Although the stories in this collection experiment with form, they humorously return again and again to universal themes such as desperation, loneliness, jealousy, alienation, shame, and apocalypse.
