Overview: Chavisa Woods’s people in Things to Do When You’re Goth in the Country (200 pages, May 2017) don’t do what you expect them to. These aren’t typical stories of triumph over adversity, but something completely different. It’s “Murakami meets the meth heads” says National Book Foundation “5 Under 35” winner Samantha Hunt. “Reader, you have never before seen anything like this.” And it’s fun to read.
The eight stories in this literary collection present the reader with a brilliantly surreal and sardonic landscape and language. The pieces include a coming of age story like no other–two young girls befriend a “zombie” who secretly resides in a local cemetery. In another story, a lesbian is so bored with the unhip guests at her in-laws’ Mensa party, she secretly drops LSD with her partner, and the antics of the pseudo-geniuses take on a whole new light. Bringing Woods’s America into vivid focus, one story gives us a woman who travels back home for a visit, only to find that her younger brothers have developed a strange relationship with the UFOs that trouble meth labs in the abandoned shacks of the rural Midwest.
