Refresh, refresh : stories

The war in Iraq empties the small town of Tumalo, Oregon, of men--of fathers--leaving their sons to fight among themselves. But the boys' bravado fades at home when, alone, they check e-mail again and again for word from their fathers at the front. Often from fractured homes and communities, the young men in these breathless stories do the unthinkable to prove to themselves--to everyone--that they are strong enough to face the heartbreak in this world. Set in rural Oregon with the shadow of the Cascade Mountains hanging over them, these stories bring you face-to-face with a mad bear, a house with a basement that opens up into a cave, a nuclear meltdown that renders the Pacific Northwest into a contemporary Wild West. Refresh, Refresh is a bold, fiery, and unforgettable collection that deals with vital issues of our time.

  • "Dans ces nouvelles sombres et sardoniques (une petite ville américaine vidée de ses hommes par la guerre en Irak, la reconstruction d'un couple après la mort d'un enfant, un accident nucléaire qui ravage une partie du pays...), les personnages commettent l'impensable pour se prouver à eux-mêmes et aux autres qu'ils sont à même de faire face au monde et à ses désordres."
  • "Josh et ses amis vivent dans une petite ville américaine en apparence ordinaire, sauf que la plupart des hommes de cette ville sont des soldats de l'armée partis combattre en Irak. Le quotidien des familles est donc fait de vacuité, d'attente, de non-dits et d'angoisse. Régulièrement, une mort est annoncée. Le père de Josh sera-t-il le prochain sur la liste ?"
