A man, forgotten by the world, takes care of his deaf brother while euthanizing dogs for a living. A stepbrother so desperately wants to become his stepsibling that he rapes his girlfriend. In Maryse Meijer’s decidedly dark and searingly honest collection <i>Rag</i>, the desperate human desire for connection slips into a realm that approximates horror.
Meijer’s explosive debut collection, <i>Heartbreaker</i>, reinvented sexualized and romantic taboos, holding nothing back. In <i>Rag</i>, Meijer’s fearless follow-up, she shifts her focus to the dark heart of intimacies of all kinds, and the ways in which isolated people’s yearning for community can breed violence, danger, and madness. With unparalleled precision, Meijer spins stories that leave you troubled and slightly shaken by her uncanny ability to elicit empathy for society’s most marginalized people.
