In the tales gathered in An Agent of Utopia: New and Selected
Stories you will meet a Utopian assassin, an aging UFO contactee, a
haunted Mohawk steelworker, a time-traveling prizefighter, a
yam-eating Zombie, and a child who loves a frizzled chicken-not to
mention Harry Houdini, Zora Neale Hurston, Sir Thomas More, and all
their fellow travelers riding the steamer-trunk imagination of a
unique twenty-first-century fabulist. From the Florida folktales of
the perennial prison escapee Daddy Mention and the dangerous
gator-man Uncle Monday that inspired "Daddy Mention and the Monday
Skull" (first published in Mojo: Conjure Stories, edited by Nalo
Hopkinson) to the imagined story of boxer and historical bit player
Jess Willard in World Fantasy Award winner "The Pottawatomie Giant"
(first published on SciFiction), or the Ozark UFO contactees in
Nebula Award winner "Close Encounters" to Flannery O'Connor's
childhood celebrity in Shirley Jackson Award finalist "Unique
Chicken Goes in Reverse" (first published in Eclipse) Duncan's
historical juxtapositions come alive on the page as if this
Southern storyteller was sitting on a rocking chair stretching the
truth out beside you. Duncan rounds out his explorations of the
nooks and crannies of history in two irresistible new stories, "Joe
Diabo's Farewell" - in which a gang of Native American ironworkers
in 1920s New York City go to a show - and the title story, "An
Agent of Utopia" - where he reveals what really (might have)
happened to Thomas More's head.
