Dean Bakopoulos: They Threw Me Off the Hay Truck – On Bafflement and Difficulty (January 2017)

$5.00

Bafflement, Bakopoulos tells us, is not surprise; it’s the mystifying blind spot we must look into in order to change. He discusses works by Ellison, Murakami, James Cain and others to explore the ways magical realism and noir mysteries overlap, and what we might learn from that overlapping, particularly when writing about the struggle for justice or peace (global or personal), in times of violence and upheaval (physical or emotional).
