Seven for the Apocalypse Paperback / softback
by Kit Reed
Paperback / softback
Description
Seven for the Apocalypse brings together Kit Reed's powerful 1994 novella with seven short stories about love and isolation.
A work of metaphysical science fiction and a finalist for the Tiptree award, Little Sisters of the Apocalypse interweaves two stories.
The first follows a motorcycle gang of radical nuns on their mission to save an island of women, abandoned by the men who have gone to war, from a band of outlaws.
Of course, not all of the women need, or want, to be saved.
The second narrative traces the long-term illness and eventual death of the author's mother, herself a World War II widow.
The accompanying short stories, never before collected, include the highly acclaimed "River," "The Singing Marine," and "Voyager." These intense, intelligent tales take a hard and often humorous look at the myths we create in order to comfort ourselves, myths whose danger lies in their very perfection.
