Zombies, clowns, prophets, and prostitutes infuse the pages of
absurdist and fiction writer Franco D'Rivera's collection of short
stories. In this second and concluding volume, he brings us face to
face with elements as odd as they are familiar: fear, loss, love,
and gain.
D'Rivera bends the spheres of reality, often with a kind of
endearing and deformed sentimentality, in prose as poignant as it
is incisive. A man finds himself in love with a world that is
terrified of him. A woman in the midst of an uphill struggle for
personal freedom is locked in the treacherous nightmare of an
entrapping cycle of vice and cruelty. A clown and middle aged
prostitute share a charming, yet darkly humorous encounter. It is
these sorts of tales D'Rivera exposes and studies in his quest to
find the ultimate truth.
This compendium provides an ode to the resilience and the better
parts of the human spirit. In a crystalline style that weaves
through these resonant tales of friendship, love, beauty, and
terror, D'Rivera plunges head-first into the seemingly unlikely,
but ultimately true. Open your mind to the possibilities with "In
Search of the Bluebird. "
