That's when the Knives Come Down

Viac o knihe

Fiction. Dolan Morgan's debut collection focuses on cities and relationships and lives gone awry. A man designs a city around absence to cope with his wife's disappearance; an entire town exhibits symptoms of a monstrous disease; a sound overtakes New York, leaving its denizens lonely and shuddering and immensely aroused. A guy propositions his furniture, a volcano spews its ash, and a horde of enemies engage in a literally uplifting fight. Throughout, Morgan poses questions to the reader: if an endless hole exists in the earth, does it not also exist in ourselves? What happens if we dig a shallower hole? What happens when we fill it? At once absurd, harrowing, and inimitable, THAT'S WHEN THE KNIVES COME DOWN establishes Dolan Morgan as the writer whose voice will supersede your inner monologue and expose your roiling inner turmoil.
