Description
Against the backdrop of the great catastrophes of our time, we encounter in Lashing Skies a number of individuals in the grip of tragedy in New York City. We are projected unsparingly into their collective and private traumas and share their experience intimately. They could be Japanese, Haitian, Iraqi… This powerful, hard-hitting writing is a unique blend of fiction and poetry. It goes to the heart of the historical moment, confronting raw emotions and appealing to our deepest empathy and compassion.
