Book Discussion | Realistic Fiction: Startingly Unique Stories


Author Anton Solomonik in conversation with Cat Fitzpatrick. Finally, a book for men.  Have you ever engaged in totally normal male behavior like: Stealing porn magazines? Hooking up with guys on Grindr? Attempting to work in an open-pit mine despite having no relevant job experience? Crossdressing as a woman? Attending Gnostic Mass? Running for government office? Then this is a book for you! It is definitely not a deeply felt collection of transsexual short stories, engaged in dissident metaphysical investigation of the normative tenets of gender in our society. Bro, how could you say that? It is very dramatic and exciting, yes, but it is not metaphysical at all. In fact, it is Realistic Fiction.  As if Charlie Chaplin re-wrote the works of Kafka, and he was a Russian trans man, Anton Solomonik brings a funny, heartbreaking, and startlingly unique new voice to contemporary short fiction.

Her theories focus on the autonomy of art, its cognitive importance, social-historical embeddedness, the “culture industry,” “truth-content,” and “concretization” as criteria for aesthetic judgments.
