Download or read book Victims Of Happenstance written by Irina Hagiescu and published by Irina Hagiescu. This book was released on 2021-12-08 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores the frailty of human destinies and how the smallest and most insignificant decisions can generate a chain of events that impact the lives of thousands of people, in a Butterfly Effect reaction. The author plays with the chronologies of multiple timelines, jumping back and forth between the current time and the two alternate realities that emerge after the protagonist, a young, borderlines depressed woman, takes a seemingly trifling decision, that ends up impacting the lives of tens of people, before coming back to taunt her. “ Look, for example, the fact that I take this glass and move it two centimeters closer to the edge of the table will cause three people to die in Bangladesh in a year's time. Kind of ... Butterfly Effect, if you want to call it that. And I think the opposite is also true. Decisions made by chance by people on the other side of the planet affect us in a positive or negative way. And sometimes our own decisions can turn against us, after they've been around the world. ”

Download or read book The Revolutionaries Try Again written by Mauro Javier Cardenas and published by Coffee House Press. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extravagant, absurd, and self-aware, The Revolutionaries Try Again plays out against the lost decade of Ecuador's austerity and the stymied idealism of three childhood friends—an expat, a bureaucrat, and a playwright—who are as sure about the evils of dictatorship as they are unsure of everything else, including each other. Everyone thinks they're the chosen ones, Masha wrote on Antonio's manuscript. See About Schmidt with Jack Nicholson. Then she quoted from Hope Against Hope by Nadezhda Mandelstam, because she was sure Antonio hadn't read her yet: Can a man really be held accountable for his own actions? His behavior, even his character, is always in the merciless grip of the age, which squeezes out of him the drop of good or evil that it needs from him. In San Francisco, besides the accumulation of wealth, what does the age ask of your so called protagonist? No wonder he never returns to Ecuador. Mauro Javier Cardenas grew up in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and graduated with a degree in Economics from Stanford University. Excerpts from his first novel, The Revolutionaries Try Again, have appeared in Conjunctions, the Antioch Review, Guernica, Witness, and BOMB. His interviews and essays on/with László Krasznahorkai, Javier Marias, Horacio Castellanos Moya, Juan Villoro, and Antonio Lobo Antunes have appeared in Music & Literature, San Francisco Chronicle, BOMB, and the Quarterly Conversation.
