Download Coup de Foudre: A Novella and Stories AudioBook Free
The explosive new collection by the famous writer of Thirst and Pencil/Faulkner Prize finalist Pu-239 and also other Russian Fantasies, Coup de Foudre is the sort of groundbreaking work of literary technology Ken Kalfus' admirers have come to anticipate. The audiobook is anchored by the full wording of the provocatively topical ointment subject novella that came out in Harper's, a sometimes farcical, in the end tragic tale about the leader of an international lender accused of sexually assaulting a housekeeper in a New York hotel. Recalling recent news occurrences with irony and compassion, Kalfus skewers international politics gridlock and the hypocrisies of appropriate sexual do. In "AS SOON AS They Were LOOKING FORWARD TO", a murderer on death row casts a spell granting the inhabitants of his city the foreknowledge of the times they will pass away. In "v. The Large Hadron Collider", a judge distracted by the faint probability associated with an adulterous affair must decide whether to throw out a nuisance lawsuit that raises the even fainter probability that the whole Globe may be damaged. "The Un-" is a nostalgic tale of a young writer's struggles as he tries to surmount the colossal, heavily guarded wall structure that apparently separates writers who have been published from those people who have not. Differing boldly in theme, establishing, and shade, the stories in Coup de Foudre show Kalfus' distinctive laughter and intellect, inextricably destined with high literary ambition.
