OverviewThis novella-in-verse explores the high-stakes minutia of living with other people related by blood and marriage, through fables, ledgers, etymologies. The Fault takes on generational anxiety and blended families while counting costs, grinding axes, and laying bare the joys, dangers and absurdities of domestic intimacy. ""Sometimes surging with the dark power of a fairy tale, sometimes verging on surreal, we meet a Step Mother who confides, We are throwing / the new house a party, so it will know who its mommy / and daddy are. Charged with humor, simmering with just-off-kilter antics.""— Beth Ann Fennelly ""Here, wife and husband meet to fault each other. Truthful surrealisms abound, like landmines or dreams… Sulak wonders if our human faults and gaps are what build a version of love that is gorgeous, sometimes painful, and ultimately more faithful to the love/danger of family making.""— Connie Voisine Full Product DetailsAuthor: Marcela SulakPublisher: Black Lawrence Press Imprint: Black Lawrence Press ISBN: 9781625570765ISBN 10: 1625570767 Pages: 80 Publication Date: 31 July 2024 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
