Alternative Truths: Volume 1 (Alternatives) - Softcover

Alternative Truths is a look at the post-election America that is, or will be, or could be. We attach no manacles to truth that bind it to our visions. Instead we free it to find its own way through the minds of the two dozen writers who have shared their vision of the future in either sensitively written allegorical tales such as Relics by Louise Marley, a woman who grew up bucking hay in Montana and moved on to a talented musical performer and successful novelist; or the raw humor of Adam Troy-Castro in his Q & A, which takes on the verbal veracity of Donald J. Trump. This collection includes a thoughtful foreword by Rick Dunham other work by some of fandoms best loved writers
