The Deadman Tapes
Forget the jokey Rosen you know and love. This collection of monologues, supposedly taped by teenagers, are bitter in tone and content, and hard to get the mind around in one reading. A puzzling tension builds as stories of grief, infatuation, desertion, prejudice, etc. unfold in the 'memorable speech' style for which this author is regarded. It deserves to be stocked for its sheer, intriguing otherness. One of my unkeen readers pronounced it 'ace'.
