Where are you?,
This review is from: The Middle of Elsewhere: a novella and stories (Paperback)
If you truly did what you wanted, where would it take you?
The middle of elsewhere is not on any map, but if you are lucky you will find it. In the place where dreams meet reality, sort of, the only way to get there from here is by following your heart. In her third book, a collection of separate stories, Alison Moore has created mindscapes for the rare creature in all of us. Her cast of survivors escapes the expected and each blooms in ways that ring true, surprising themselves. From an Indonesian beach time forgot to the idea of separation that is America's southern border, wounds and the quest for the spiritual balm that will heal are what her characters have in common. Moore is a keen describer of both human and mother nature. There are no cheap tricks here, no easy outs. Just exquisitely wrought tales of ordinary people encountering their extraordinary selves. "Elsewhere" is a trip to no place you have ever been that is still eerily familiar. Moore is a winner of the Katherine Ann Porter Prize for Fiction, 2004. This is a satisfying read. |
