Gary Braunbeck a publié quelques (excellentes) nouvelles dans Emblèmes.
Il vient d'évoquer son dernier récit :Prodigal Blues
Il s'agit, attention les yeux d'un "modern-day fairy-tale-type novel that evokes the darker aspects of Frank Capra's films. "For all the chuckles people get from making fun of It's a Wonderful Life or Meet John Doe, a lot of those films are extremely dark, and I wanted to write a novel that would reflect Capra's kind of darkness," Braunbeck said in an interview. "Horrific, yes, but also partly whimsical and focusing not on the pain and torture suffered by the characters but on the characters themselves and how the protagonist goes from being a frightened and resentful captive to a willing comrade."
The story is about a man traveling between Kansas and Ohio by car, who finds himself stranded at a truck stop, Braunbeck said. "[There,] he is abducted by a group of kids who are escaping from a man who's been holding them prisoner for years," he said. "Their faces have all been mutilated in one form or another by their captor, and they need someone with a 'normal' face to act as their go-between as they attempt to get themselves back home."
