| Last night at DC Moore, Barbara Takenaga and writers Jim Shepard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Shepard) and Karen Shepard (http://karen-shepard.com/) addressed themes of alienation and apocalypse to discuss the work on view. Jim's interest in catastrophes was well summarized in a cogent, biting short story about a tsunami. Karen's new novels the Celestials, about young Chinese living in N. Adams, MA addressed the alienation aspect. |
