Beskrivning
Encompassing a wide range of formal approaches and genres, Samuel Rafael Barber captures the disparate manifestations of power and powerlessness in this era of global neoliberalism. The stories in The Box in Which We Live investigate the existential torment inflicted upon marginalized people by individuals, institutions, and states complicit in oppression. Across these experiments, a comic absurdity emerges and a distance grows between the individual and the collective in a media-oversaturated world.

Recensioner i media

“I alternated between laughter and admiration reading the darkly comic, metafictional pieces in The Box in Which We Live, even as I tried to locate the source of its absurdist charm and off-kilter wisdom. Are these stories Beckettian? Borgesian? Barthelmeic? Am I getting hints of Steven Millhauser or Robert Coover or Lydia Davis? Or someday, might such original linguistic and thematic playfulness be described as Barberian?”—Jess Walter, judge, John Simmons Short Fiction Award
