Description

Finalist for 2013 PEN/Faulkner Prize"There's usually a shock in the speech and in one's heart of Laird Hunt's tales, using its echoes of routine captured in a classic language, therefore we begin to see the world he presents us as though fresh. ` You hear anything like that and it walks out the door with you.' " —Michael Ondaatje " Laird Hunt 's Type One, about two slave women who consider their white mistress into captivity, is a profound meditation on the racial and sexual subconscious of America. . .
