Genre: Experimental Fiction | Vignette Collection Paperback: ISBN-13: 978-1-925417-84-5 ePub: ISBN-13: 978-1-925417-85-2 Kindle ASIN: B07H8MZSP6 Pages: 62 The interrelated short prose pieces in Ben Berman’s Then Again explore a life outside of chronological order, bounce back and forth between foreign adventures and domestic routines. One moment we’re in a Mommy and Me yoga class, the next we’re gutting a goat in rural Zimbabwe. As much a meditation on language as a coming to terms with middle age, these stories navigate the distance between words and worlds. And yet whether getting chased by wild dogs through the alleyways of Kathmandu or desperately trying to stop his three-year-old from drawing all over the walls, Berman contemplates life’s ambiguities with both wisdom and wonder. |
