These audacious stories shine with artistic nuance and fearless
emotional intensity. Tragic, lyrical, hilarious, and politically
controversial, they exist in a world where fact is as strange as
fiction, and fiction is often disguised as fact. ""The Jiri
Chronicles & Other Fictions"" is divided into three sections,
each a unique literary experiment. In ""Snapshots: A Genealogy in
Flight,"" Debra Di Blasi draws inspiration from real family
photographs to create a haunting portrait of successive generations
of a fictionalized Midwest family. ""Hyperfictions"" features
writing that is interactive and nonlinear, dissolving borders
between poetry and prose, visual art and music. At the work's comic
center is an invention that transgresses the boundaries of fiction
and fraud. Just who is Jiri Cech? A businessman, vampire, and
artist from the former Czechoslovakia? A website? A hoax? An
American con artist whose racism and sexism, although loathsome,
only heighten his allure? Or something greater or smaller than the
sum of these parts? This astonishing collection challenges the
stylistic and thematic boundaries of traditional literature,
questioning what it means to be human - and awake - in the
post-millenium.
