A story-a real story, of the type that we've gathered here; not the mock-stories, the painless, bloodless vignettes that make up so much of today's \"literary\" fiction-involves apocalypse. Apocalypse means a revelation (the literal meaning of the word apocalypse is a \"lifting of the veil\"), and a very specific type of revelation: the destruction of an old order, followed by a time of disorder and chaos, and the replacement of the old order by a new and entirely different order.... Sublimity and apocalypse. Anti-rationality and surreality. The call for the literary artist is nothing less than to reveal and remake everything; and the writers whose work you are about to experience have boldly answered that call. We invite you to abandon to its well-deserved fate the wreckage of the rational, and to enjoy.\" - from the Introduction, by Laura \u0026amp; Pinckney Benedict\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 372\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.83 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47267631923449,"sku":"9780982576014","price":28.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Wcz8vbyfwk9780982576014_c39743ec-44be-4b06-8b04-d012e0ba34f2.webp?v=1768868325","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/surreal-south-09-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
