Ranging from the 17th century to the present and crossing multiple continents, Counternarratves' novellas and stories draw upon memoirs, newspaper accounts, detective stories, interrogation transcripts, and speculative fic=on to create new and strange perspectives on our past and present. In "Rivers," a free Jim meets up decades later with his former raftmate Huckleberry Finn; "An Outtake" chronicles an escaped slave's fate in the American Revolution; "On Brazil, or Dénouement" burrows deep into slavery and sorcery in early colonial South America; and in "Blues" the great poets Langston Hughes and Xavier Villaurrutia meet in Depression-era New York and share more than secrets.
