Bookslinger Update: “Being Dead in South Carolina”

The Bookslinger app has been updated with a new story!

9781935248446This week’s story comes from Jacob White’s sad, fierce, and funny new take on the South Being Dead in South Carolina, published by  Leapfrog Press. Set largely in the modern South, the stories in Being Dead in South Carolina concern people who no longer recognize themselves, who have arrived, like the Sunbelt itself, to a strange day that seems disconnected from all the old days, the old stories, the old selves. Yet it’s always on this day we must answer for ourselves—right an overturned car, recover the body of a brother, convince a son of our worth and his. We are adrift with bad judgment, a little loose in the head, but searching for the correction.

Bookslinger Update: “Our Big Game”

The Bookslinger app has been updated with a new story!

This week’s story is from The Immanence of God in the Tropics by George Rosen, published by Leapfrog Press. These are stories of unexpected encounters far from home, told with a vivid sense of place. A white man with more wives than money becomes Africa’s least-competent thief, two Americans contemplate love’s costs and possibilities in Mexico’s mountains, a seasick missionary bumps into God on the equator. George Rosen’s characters seek, and sometimes find, a reality in which “everywhere, there is something remarkable.”
