Advance praise for CORNER OF THE DEAD “Corner of the Dead is keen and passionate—a sexually alive elegy. Lurie’s hypnotic language is as subversive as Seuss in its indictment of racism, bullies, and demigods. A stunning debut.”—Fran Gordon, author of Paisley Girl “In this haunting, powerful novel, Lynn Lurie explores not only ‘the corner of the dead,’ but that entire shadowy no-man’s-land where the dead and those who remember them—or more accurately, those who cared enough to try to save them—play out the elemental trauma of their shared experience. Lurie’s strong, spare prose will stay with you long after the reading; the truths she tells of life and death in one of the hardest places on earth will stay with you even longer.”—Ben Fountain, author of Brief Encounters with Che Guevara: Stories “Corner of the Dead has the indelible feeling of a dream you can’t shake, a terror made beautiful. It moves by sensation, association, with great fluidity and urgency.”—Noy Holland, author of What Begins with Bird: Fictions [44.212.39.149] Project MUSE (2024-03-29 01:53 GMT) CORNER OF THE DEAD [44.212.39.149] Project MUSE (2024-03-29 01:53 GMT) ...
