Résumé
"Compelling scientific and emotional explorations that raise the question: What awaits us when we cross the line?" -Kirkus Reviews A squatting tenant in El Barrio refusing his landlord's eviction offer while his nurse contemplates taking a nefarious offer of her own. Star jumping to the next constellation without the girl you love. Stopping a quantum mechanical fungoid Casanova who is ravaging the galaxy's hearts and star maps.
Whether it be courage, resignation or lust that lead to a decision, one thing is certain: don't buckle up because seatbelts don't work here. From the 2022 Chautauqua Janus Prize winner Stephanie Nina Pitsirilos comes a sci-fi, sensual, and literary debut short story collection and like her prize-winning story, "Jean", genre and medium are not holding her back. Event Horizon: Stories of No Turning Back is a prose-driven collection of stories themed around the astrophysical phenomenon of black holes and their unforgiving boundaries of "no return"-their event horizons.
What arises is a tantalizing question for characters grappling with cosmic decisions in their lives, whether in their living rooms, on space stations or exoplanets: what awaits on the other side of the "event horizon"? An array of celebrated artists help answer this through the sequential art of comics, canvas work, and photography. The collection is introduced by comics, prose and astrophysics academia: Dr.
Frederick Luis Aldama (Professor Latinx), the Jacob & Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities in the English Department at the University of Texas, Austin; Professor of Astronomy at Columbia University Dr. Marcel Agüeros; and Dr. Mariana Espinosa Aldama, Member of the Mathematical Modeling of Social Systems Department at the Research Institute on Applied Mathematics and Systems at UNAM. 244 pages full color: 6 prose stories with art.
3 short comics. 1 one-shot comic (25pages). 3 academic letters of introduction. Original canvas work. Original photography throughout. ARTISTS: BlusterOne; Cyrus Amir Boquín; Karen S. Darboe; Cris Delara; Gabriela Downie; Aaron Guzman; Galen Ihlenfeldt; Kroniko; Rafael Romeo Magat; Seth Christian Martel; Eric Nguyen; Anton Oxenuk; Stephanie Nina Pitsirilos; Armando Ramirez; Tracy168."... Pitsirilos has assembled an eclectic roster of creators from many different mediums, resulting in a work that is diverse in both forms and perspectives.
All should prove a delight for SF aficionados." -Kirkus Reviews "... By having the courage to place Latinx feminist issues in space and in futuristic settings, Pitsirilos has lifted Latinx literature from the flat earth most of our fiction is set." -Ernesto Quiñonez, Author of Bodega Dreams "Event Horizon's stunning kaleidoscopic and alchemical admixtures of image and word build storyworlds that radically opens our mind-bodies to a future not weighed heavy by failures of the past, but rather that guide us toward thrivance in our collective dreaming of Latinx futurities." -Dr.
Frederick Luis Aldama, award-winning author of over 50 fiction, comics, animation shorts, and scholarly books.
