"In what novelist John Gardner referred to as 'the vivid and continuous fictional dream,' Mary Clyde writes two stories of alternate realities with the same or similar characters. Here, fugue-like, a post-apocalyptic world in the Arizona desert informs, undercuts, reiterates, and ultimately harmonizes with a family struggling to tend to a son and brother hospitalized with traumatic brain injury. Or is it the other way around? Winner of the 1999 Flannery O'Connor Award for her collection, Survival Rates, Clyde presents life as blistered and harrowing but making way for something utterly new and unknown."
—David Pace, author of American Trinity and Other Stories from the Mormon Corridor
Author Mary Clyde talks with marketing specialist Beth Brumer Reeve about how Journeys from a Desert Road came to life, how her kids always talking about a zombie apocalypse informed her story, and why she doesn't believe in writing at 5:00 a.m.
