A book of 50 dialogue-only short stories by a unique, witty, and, if necessary, brutal author.
Blabber, Chat, Shouting Match: 50 Dialogue-Only Fictions (corona\samizdat) takes the traditional genre of literary dialogue and interrogates the form through a fictional lens in our era of hyper-communication and viral misinformation. A product of a self-imposed, yearlong writing challenge, Greene’s book delivers a diverse collection of conversations. Bigfoot, gods, AI dating apps, serial killers, and men debating whose turn it is to cross a busy and blood-spattered road are just some of the characters you’ll meet in these philosophically charged and emotionally raw short stories.
See note below on purchasing:
Please note that the masthead who runs the Corona\Samizdat Books is recovering from a stroke and it is currently unknown if or when the existing copies with the press will become available for sale again (the C\S website is offline until further notice). Since books can’t be bought right now, I encourage you to donate to Rick’s recovery (this fundraiser for the press is now supporting Rick with expenses during his recovery as needed). He’s experiencing a slow recovery which has had complications.
I will make a post for my subscribers if the book becomes available for purchase again.
A linguist, a lake monster, and the looming shadow of death–news of an unknown creature in the New Bedford Lake coincides with news that Natalia’s cancer has returned.
On the shores of the lake in a strange house with many secret doors, Robert and his family must face the fact that Natalia is dying, and there is no hope this time. But they continue on; their son plays by the lakeside, Natalia paints, Robert writes, and all the while the air is thick with dust from a worldwide drought that threatens to come down and coat their little corner of green.
A lament for what is already lost and what is yet to be lost, Descriptions of Heaven leaves only one question to be asked: What’s next?
