A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

• Mascots is a collection of vignettes and brief impressionistic scenes that concentrate on moments, characters, settings, and ideas. Many of these vignettes are independent; a cast of characters who wander throughout the book intruding upon others. Despite seemingly disparate parts, themes recur over and over in Mascots, and when taken together as a whole form a world that is strange, sad, funny, and familiar. Mascots are exaggerated, ridiculous representatives, giving form to the abstract. They don’t give this form in a subtle way; they’re surreal magnifications, explosions of the thing they represent. The recurring characters in Mascots are like this, but so are the vignettes themselves. In the world of Mascots, failure is everywhere. There is failure to connect, failure to communicate, and failure to find meaning, but despite that, there are moments of hope, transcendence, and even happy endings.
