Fiction about contemporary bohemians. Three pop mini-novels with a connection to Detroit.
"Kevin and Koreena" concerns two misfit artists, one from a rustbelt industrial town.
In "The Zeen Writer," a young underground writer is lost amid the ruins of Detroit.
"Bluebird" is the story of a rock band fronted by two very different young women. They each represent variations on the ideas of DIY and punk.
The emphasis of these tales is on setting and feeling-- and the moody presence of America's most melancholy city.
This is not hipster lit! In their authenticity and overarching viewpoint, these tales are the opposite of hipster literature. "Detroit is the obliteration of emotion"-- so says a sentence painted on a building in one of the stories. But emotion sneaks through, is everywhere, incapable of being erased.
This is great pop writing about now.
