Ranging from the seventeenth century to our current moment, and
crossing multiple continents, Counternarratives’ stories and
novellas draw upon memoirs, newspaper accounts, detective stories,
interrogation transcripts, and speculative fiction to create new
and strange perspectives on our past and present. ‘An Outtake’
chronicles an escaped slave’s take on liberty and the American
Revolution; ‘The Strange History of Our Lady of the Sorrows’
presents a bizarre series of events that unfold in a
nineteenth-century Kentucky convent; ‘The Aeronauts’ soars
between bustling Philadelphia, still-rustic Washington, and the
theatre of the US Civil War; ‘Rivers’ presents a free Jim
meeting up decades later with his former raftmate Huckleberry Finn;
and in ‘Acrobatique’, the subject of a famous Edgar Degas
painting talks back.
