Ranging from the 17th century to the present and crossing multiple continents, Counternarrative s novellas and stories draw upon memoirs, newspaper accounts, detective stories, interrogation transcripts, and speculative fiction to create new and strange perspectives on our past and present. In Rivers, a free Jim meets up decades later with his former raftmate Huckleberry Finn; An Outtake chronicles an escaped slave s fate in the American Revolution; On Brazil, or Denouement burrows deep into slavery and sorcery in early colonial South America; and in Blues the great poets Langston Hughes and Xavier Villaurrutia meet in Depression-era New York and share more than secrets."
