Reviews
De Jarnatt showcases his exquisite imagination with a collection of short stories that are filled with eclectic characters who confront life's challenges in its many forms. . . . This collection will have you savoring De Jarnatt's colorful prose and his ability to combine both humor and poignant observation. As many of these stories feature characters dealing with some kind of disaster, they seem eerily timely as well., Woven throughout De Jarnatt's work is a creeping sense of oblivion...De Jarnatt always manages to find the humor and humanity in oblivion, however, sometimes through bizarre conceits., A feast for the language-lover and a workout for the thrill-minded, Steve De Jarnatt's short fiction takes us to extremes in these eleven astonishing stories. Exquisite, raw and absolutely unique., Those of us who revere Steve De Jarnatt's work as a filmmaker have long understood him to be a master at subverting--and perverting--audience expectations, but nothing prepared me for the stories in Grace for Grace . Working in a grain that might be termed 'American psychedelic sublime'--De Jarnatt's stories are cousin to Barry Hannah's, Donald Barthelme's, to Charles Portis even--which is to say they resemble nothing so much as themselves. In their syntax, in their feeling, and in their untrammeled imagination they are thrilling and electrical, and absolutely, wildly alive., 'Rubiaux Rising' is the shortest piece here and one of the most powerful. Compressed details deliver a visceral jolt in Steve De Jarnatt's narrative about an Iraq veteran, addicted to painkillers since he lost an arm and a leg to an IED, who has been locked in an attic by his mother to detox when Katrina strikes. It's the first story the author ever submitted for publication, one of the discoveries that makes this series so valuable., [De Jarnatt's] stories...have violence at their centers and are richly textured--the prose being ornate, rococo, thickly detailed., Now a master of the short-story form, De Jarnatt's prose crackles with wild energy. The stories in Grace for Grace are packed with mythic wonder, humor and tragedy of the highest order, and indelible characters desperately searching to save and be saved. This book is vibrant and provocative, designed to shake the intellect and emotions--I didn't realize how asleep I was until I read these stories, and I'm thankful to be awakened by De Jarnatt and his amazing collection., [De Jarnatt's] stories . . . have violence at their centers and are richly textured--the prose being ornate, rococo, thickly detailed., De Jarnatt puts forth a collection of short stories. . . each written with a filmmaker's eye for expansive dramatic structure and the signal-shifting image: the hopeful horizon after an imperiled night, the crash of lightning/thunder after a mad scientist's reveal., Woven throughout De Jarnatt's work is a creeping sense of oblivion. . . . De Jarnatt always manages to find the humor and humanity in oblivion, however, sometimes through bizarre conceits., The expansive, antic mind behind the stories in Grace for Grace is a formidable literary force. This collection is so fresh and imaginative and marvelously strange--so good--it will leave an indelible impression on its readers, of which Steve De Jarnatt deserves legions., Evident from the first sentence of each of the stories in his debut collection Grace for Grace ...is an exuberant love of language and a wonderfully musical ear. Likewise in evidence in De Jarnatt's stories are an unwavering curiosity and an unappeasable hunger for the innumerable varieties of human experience. Each story offers up something extraordinary for the reader., Its stories united by themes of finding a home, Grace for Grace is poetic and avante garde. Steve De Jarnatt's short story collection pairs imaginative literary language with flawed characters in obscure situations. . . . Grace for Grace is a varied, ornate short story collection that navigates the inner lives and outer experiences of characters whose origins are outside of what's ordinary.
Synopsis
With Grace for Grace , celebrated film and television director and screenwriter Steve De Jarnatt brings his exuberant style of storytelling to the page. These wildly imaginative stories are characterized by idiosyncratic syntax, sweeping scale, and the lush inner lives of the characters. De Jarnatt's protagonists are in search of meaning and belonging, and often, at the same time, redemption and revenge. "Wraiths in a Swelter" is both a ghost story and a confessional memoir, following a deliriously exhausted EMT through a deadly Chicago heat wave. "Her Great Blue" is a surreal interspecies love story, while "Rubiaux Rising" is a tale of triumph amid disaster during Hurricane Katrina, and "Harmony Arm" is a comi-tragic romp through a Furry convention. The stories in Grace for Grace are crucibles that test human, and occasionally inhuman, limits, showing readers the surprising changes brought about by characters' encounters with unexpected extremes. This collection, which includes a Best American Short Stories selection, brings De Jarnatt's distinctive voice and cinematic vision to a new audience., Grace for Grace brings celebrated cult filmmaker Steve De Jarnatt's distinctive voice and cinematic vision to the page. Lush inner lives, idiosyncratic syntax, and sweeping scale characterize these wildly imaginative stories, which present characters in search of meaning and belonging, and often, at the same time, redemption and revenge. "Rubiaux Rising" (a Best American Short Stories selection) is a tale of triumph amid calamity during Hurricane Katrina, while "Her Great Blue" a surreal interspecies love story. "Mulligan" reveals the private pain of parents traveling across the country to give away their children, and "Wraiths in a Swelter" is both a ghost story and a confessional memoir--following a deliriously exhausted EMT through a deadly Chicago heat wave. Many of the stories in Grace for Grace are set against the backdrop of natural or manmade catastrophes. These disasters test the characters' limits as they confront sudden changes and extremes, discovering through their unexpected resourcefulness and endurance something beyond suffering. . . something that approaches the sublime.
