- More about A Blind Corner
This collection explores the absurdities and paradoxes of life as it is actually lived, challenging social-media-driven narratives and revealing the complexity of human desires and blind spots. Through shocking and sometimes brutal events, characters are disabused of their beliefs, and the author forgoes easy moralization in favor of uncomfortable truths.
Format: Hardback
Length: 224 pages
Publication date: 07 July 2022
Publisher: Little, Brown & Company
In a world where quick judgments and sweeping generalizations reign supreme, this collection takes a bold step back to reclaim the absurdities and paradoxes of life as it is truly experienced, far from the American fantasy of niceness. Within the realm of Macy's world, human desires and blind spots collide headlong with convenient, social media-driven narratives that seek to categorize us into neat boxes of insider or outsider, good or bad, with us or against us.
Time and time again, whether at home or in the age-old role of Americans abroad, Macy's women find themselves navigating a minefield of well-intentioned actions that unexpectedly go awry. A woman who sets out to perform a kind gesture for an underprivileged child witnesses her efforts turn into a catastrophic disaster. A wife, attempting to be a gracious host to a friend's peculiar ex-boyfriend, finds herself in a compromising situation. And in the title story, a newlywed deludes herself into thinking of herself as a Euro-sophisticate until an accident serves as a stark reminder of her true foreignness.
In these tales, where shocking and sometimes brutal events challenge the characters' deepest beliefs, Macy eschews the temptation of easy moralization in favor of delivering uncomfortable truths that expose the intricate nature of human existence. Through her vivid storytelling, she invites readers to explore the complexities of morality, empathy, and the human condition, challenging us to look beyond the surface and embrace the messiness of life.
