Description
Sarahland by Sam Cohen is a groundbreaking debut story collection that reimagines the possibilities of identity and self-discovery. With a cast of unforgettable protagonists, each named Sarah, Cohen explores the ways in which traditional stories have failed us, offering new and often humorous insights into the human experience. From a Jewish college Sarah who finds herself swept up in a culture of normalized sexual violence, to a Sarah who finds pleasure and new problems by playing dead for a wealthy necrophiliac, each story in this collection presents a fresh and provocative vision of the world. Through these characters, Cohen shows us that our personal narratives are not the only way to live, and that by refusing to adhere to a single story, we can build a better home for ourselves and for others. Ultimately, Sarahland is a powerful exploration of the search for self and the need to resist and repair our own narratives. With its innovative and often hilarious storytelling, this collection is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to challenge their assumptions about identity, community, and the world around them.
