Unknown Author

4.9/5 (34520 ratings)

Description:..".a perfect genius that makes the impossible in expression, possible; the unknowable in experience, knowable"--Anya Achtenberg, author of "The Stories of Devil-Girl" "Nickels" follows a biracial girl named "Little Miss So and So," from age 4-1/2 into adulthood. Told in a series of prose poems, "Nickels'"lyrical and inventive language conveys the dissociative states born of a world formed by persistent and brutal incest and homophobia. The dissociative states enable the child's survival and, ultimately, the adult's healing. The story is both heartbreaking and triumphant. Nickels is the groundbreaking debut of Minneapolis-area author and artist Christine Stark. "Christine Stark has crafted a language and a diction commensurate with the shredding of consciousness that is a consequence of childhood sexual abuse. She brings us a wholly original voice in a riveting novel of desperation and love. Every sentence vibrates with a terrible beauty. Every sentence brings the news."--Patricia Weaver Francisco, author of "Telling: A Memoir of Rape and Recovery" "To be taken into the mind of a child can be an enchanting adventure, but to be taken into the mind of a child who is abused, confused, and taken for granted is a lingering, livid journey. I applaud her fortitude to bring an olden--too long ignored--truth out of the darkness with blazing, innovative light."--MariJo Moore, author of "The Diamond Doorknob" "In "Nickels," Christine Stark, powerfully portrays the story of abuse and its impact on our lives. When this beautifully written and compelling story leaves, you are left wanting more. It's riveting; a book that will capture you from the beginning and carry you through the end. Everyone should read this book."--Olga Trujillo, author of "The Sum of My Parts" From the Reflections of America Series at Modern History Press http://www.ModernHistoryPress.com Learn more at http://www.ChristineStark.com FIC044000 Fiction: Contemporary WomenFIC018000 Fiction: LesbianSOC010000 Social Science: Feminism & Feminist TheoryWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
