A series of linked dramatic monologues in the voices of women around the globe.
One horrible tragedy in a high school gym that could have easily been taken as the next news story in this nation’s culture of violence is the setting for Laura McCullough’s compelling and inventive Ripple & Snap which not only looks unflinchingly at gun violence through the souls it most nearly destroys, but also at protection as metaphor—what does it mean to have it?
Taut, vivid, and uncanny, the stories in Laura McCullough’s The Smashing House conjure up the displacement and disorientation that haunt our contemporary lives. McCullough moves seamlessly between our “real” world and the worlds of the possible, bringing a poet’s fire to her compact tales of longing and disaster.
