Description
Fiction. UNCHECKED SAVAGERY, Glenn Shaheen's first collection of flash fiction, introduces the reader to a tragicomic universe where bad jokes become pathos-laden impetus, media landscapes are transformed into loci of passion and intrigue, and the intimate territory of the uncertain relationship becomes a funny, hellish adventure. Shaheen's eye for detail and ear for threats wither archetypes, seeking the sublime glimpses memorialized here: assignations on a night train, the game of love made suddenly desperate, the fragile body in unkind hands.
