marcus, ben - the age of wire and string
DESCRIPTION
In The Age of Wire and String, hailed by Robert Coover as "the most audacious literary debut in decades," Ben Marcus welds together a new reality from the scrapheap of the past. Dogs, birds, horses, automobiles, and the weather are some of the recycled elements in Marcus's first collection-part fiction, part handbook-as familiar objects take on markedly unfamiliar meanings.TRANSCRIPT
