Success, 2017 APA Audie Accolades - Best Short Story/Collections An excellent, inventive debut tale collection in the vein of Kevin Wilson and Wells Tower. Brimming with life and remarkable voices, the experiences in Austin Bunn's amazing collection explore the existential question: what happens by the end, and what is placed beyond it? Within the wry but impacting "How to Be successful an Unwinnable War", a summer time course on nuclear warfare for gifted teenagers transforms a struggling family upside down. A couple's idyllic beach honeymoon vacation is interrupted by terrorism in the lush, haunting "Getting There and Away". When an immersive video game commences turning off in the heartbreaking "Griefer", an obsessive player comes in love with a mystical player in the ultimate hours of a world. Told in a stunning range of voices, styles and options - from inside the Hale-Bopp cult to the deck of any conquistador's galleon adrift by the end of the sea - the experiences in Bunn's collection get the transformations and discoveries at the border of irrevocable change. Each tale presents a definite world, told with deep emotion, energizing vocabulary and characters with whom we have more in common that people realize. They signal the arrival of an astonishing new skill in short fiction. Carries a reward monologue, "Basement Story". Bunn is a screenwriter (Get rid of Your Darlings), past journalist (New York Times Publication, Wired and somewhere else) and performer, whose work has been performed at The Moth, WBEZ and open public radio.
