We Are a Teeming Wilderness - Hardcover

by Shena McAuliffe (Author)

The stories in We Are a Teeming Wilderness imagines the past with a keen awareness of the present, and vice versa, through a collection of characters-from microorganisms to hosiery salesmen to clairvoyants-who are bizarre, familiar, pathological, comic, sympathetic, foolish, and wise, sometimes all at once. Readers will be transported to near and distant pasts and speculative realities, while captivated by anthropologies at once historical, mythic, scientific, and intimately personal.
