Skylight Books Podcast Series Michael Woodworth Fuller
Combining scintillating prose and poetry, Legacy examines the effects of war on soliders, their families and their communities and looks at the affirmation required for the human spirit to transcend despair. It is a book about the legacy of war for those who remain. Legacy is sure to remain with you long after you've closed the final page.
Praise for Legacy:
"Fuller pretty much eschews literary rules and conventions and, rather cleverly and clandestinely, stitches into his tightly-wound nightmarish narrative all of the essential elements of the classic novel form: a plot that rushes forward ruthlessly; a deep and richly purified character study of a man inundated in a tsunami of existentialism -- ending in a bone-crushing Cri de Coeur; and a commanding, pitiless consciousness that gnaws on the broken carcass of the reader's assumptions, if not his flesh, long after the book has been read."--Warren John Deacon, writer, director, teacher
"When you read this book, be prepared to be challenged. You will be challenged with word choice and you will be challenged to pay attention to every line. You can never drop your guard. This is not a light book."--Barb Cowles, writer, editor, publisher
