Abstract
Abstract:In a dystopic America, a European expat falls in love with a woman named Honey, who shortly offers to ‘consign’ her youthful skin to an aging client for money. In the aftermath of abandonment, the protagonist struggles to cope with her lover’s transfiguration and the implications of time and beauty, all set against a distinctly capitalist America.
期刊介绍:
MR also has a history of significant criticism of W.E.B. Dubois and Nathaniel Hawthorne. An Egypt issue, published just after 9/11 on social, national, religious, and ethnic concerns, encouraged readers to look beyond stereotypes of terrorism and racism. As part of the run-up to its Fiftieth birthday, MR published a landmark issue on queer studies at the beginning of 2008 (Volume 49 Issue 1&2). The Winter issue was a commemoration of Grace Paley, which is going to be followed by an anniversary issue, art exhibition, and poetry reading in April of 2009.
