SUMMARY:Author Scott Guild presents new book "Plastic"
DESCRIPTION:Description from website: \n\nScott Guild presents Plastic \nEvent date: \nWednesday\, July 10\, 2024 – 8:00pm\n1318 BARDSTOWN RD.\nLouisville\, KY 40204 \nCarmichael’s Bookstore is excited to host Scott Guild for his newest book\, Plastic. This event will be held at The Monarch (1318 Bardstown Rd). \nAbout the Book: \nErin is a plastic girl living in a plastic world. Every day she eats a breakfast of boiled chicken\, then conveys her articulated body to Tablet Town\, where she sells other figurines Smartbodies: wearable tech that allows full\, physical immersion in a virtual world\, a refuge from real life’s brutal wars\, oppressive governmental monitoring\, and omnipresent eco-terrorist insurgency. If you cut her\, she will not bleed—but she and her fellow figurines can still be cracked or blown apart by gunfire or bombs\, or crumble away from nuclear fallout. Erin\, who’s lost her father\, sister\, and the love of her life\, certainly knows plenty about death. \nAn attack at her place of work brings Erin another too-intimate experience\, but it also brings her Jacob: a blind figurine whom she comforts in the aftermath\, and with whom she feels an almost instant connection. For the first time in years\, Erin begins to experience hope—hope that until now she’s only gleaned from watching her favorite TV show\, the surrealist retro sitcom “Nuclear Family.” Exploring the wild wonders of the virtual reality landscape together\, it seems that possibly\, slowly\, Erin and Jacob may have a chance at healing from their trauma. But then secrets from Erin’s family’s past begin to invade her carefully constructed reality\, and cracks in the facade she’s constructed around her life threaten to reveal everything vulnerable beneath. \nBoth a crypto-comedic dystopian fantasy and a deadly serious dissection of our own farcical pre-apocalypse\, Scott Guild’s debut novel is an achingly beautiful\, disarmingly welcoming\, and fabulously inventive look at the hollow core of modern American society—and a guide to how we might reanimate all its broken plastic pieces. \nAbout the Author: \nScott Guild received his​ MFA from the New Writers Project at the University of Texas at Austin\, and his PhD in English from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. He served for years as assistant director of Pen City Writers\, a prison writing initiative for incarcerated students. He is currently an assistant professor at Marian University in Indianapolis\, where he teaches literature and creative writing. Before his degrees\, Scott was the songwriter and lead guitarist for the new wave band New Collisions\, which toured with the B-52s and opened for Blondie. \n
