Fiction. This revised edition of Cydney Chadwick's 1995 PERSISTENT DISTURBRANCES contains nine new stories. The new collection invites us in with a surface tension of details and events, and a seemingly narrative flow forward through time. Within a page, however, we are pulled under the facts into currents of compelling thought patterns; we uneasily question levels of text and reality, slipping into the feelings of hidden narrators and characters. Her humor glances across the satin artistry of the stories, flashing on moments of disturbance with depths of insight. Front and back cover art by First Intensity editor and publisher Lee Chapman.
