Vol. 94 — Sinking, Singing | |||
by Gwynne Garfinkle A young girl hears unsettling messages in the grooves of an old record album. A washed-up horror star gets a second chance at stardom, but at a great price. A robot rebellion is fueled by the poetry of Adrienne Rich and Audre Lorde. In this collection of short fiction, some characters seek to escape (often through music or magic), while others choose to remain in the beautiful, albeit damaged, present moment. Praise for Garfinkle’s Can’t Find My Way Home“Garfinkle (People Change) delivers a fascinating, disorienting ghost story set in the 1970s.”—Publishers Weekly “Garfinkle has caught the feeling of 1970’s New York with impressive accuracy. She also gives a convincing look behind the scenes of daytime television, with characters who’ll be familiar to anyone who’s ever been around a theatrical production. A real page-turner, especially recommended to anyone who remembers the era.” —Asimov’s SF “[The novel] examines how we change views on political matters - or at least tactics - over the course of time and it touches upon the tenuous but real connections we retain to friends, even those no longer alive. The protagonist is compelled to relive that fatal night over and over again, each time with subtle - or not so subtle differences. Very moving story.” —Don D’Ammassa, Critical Mass
