Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The stories in Let the Scaffolds Fall feature characters at different stages of their lives, thematically linked by the emotional and psychological demands they experience striving for achievement and attempting to connect past with present. In one story, for instance, titled 'Chris,' a man looking for work believes he's found his meal ticket when he's hired at a tech company while a new co-worker refuses to accept his presence. In another story, 'Fragments of a Lost Patient,' a therapist returns from vacation and discovers one of her patients has died, though it's unclear if it was suicide or an accident. In the final story, 'The Last Dictator,' an actor from the United States assumes leadership of a foreign country based solely on his resemblance to, and ability to play, the dying dictator.Shaun Rouser is a writer based in Chicago.

He previously co-founded and served as co-editor-in-chief of online arts and humanities journal The Blackstone Review, where he also contributed fiction and non-fiction.'Rouser's writing is marked by its vivid imagery and keen insight into the subtleties of daily experiences. In this collection, Rouser explores themes of identity, harassment, and the often surreal nature of power dynamics. The prose is engaging, with detailed descriptions that bring scenes to life, such as a meticulous shaving routine or the anxious observations that follow. Sharp and authentic. Rouser's ability to weave mundane occurrences with deeper psychological undercurrents makes this collection compelling.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Arthur Mode, a man in his early thirties, finds himself ensnared in the tedium of gainful yet joyless employment. Exiled from his birthplace, he has spent years in the sprawling anonymity of Chicago. His days now stretch out before him, unmarked by the presence of his best friend, Luther, who has departed in pursuit of a different existence, and his former lover, Peta. In August 2018, we follow Arthur through one week of his life, observing his quotidian routines, his ingrained habits, and the labyrinth of his thoughts. The narrative captures the stark banalities of his existence, yet also pauses to illuminate those rare instances when the mundane is pierced by the extraordinary. Through the interwoven tapestry of relationships and the people who, ultimately, give his life meaning, we glimpse the profound in the seemingly ordinary. This item is printed on demand.
