Monsters

Description

These stories are not about mythical creatures; here, the creatures speak for themselves. There's an orc who hates Tolkien, a young demon awash in teenage angst, an angel abandoned by Jesus who finds the Fates. Jensen creates a world both delicately dreamlike and all too real, where the villain is sometimes the victim and evil is not always what we thought.

Philosopher, teacher, radical activist, and leading voice of uncompromising dissent, Derrick Jensen is winner of numerous awards and honors including the Eric Hoffer Book Award, USA Today's Critics' Choice Award, and Press Action's Person of the Year. He is the author of over twenty books, including Endgame, A Language Older Than Words, and Dreams, and he regularly stirs packed auditoriums across the country with revolutionary spirit. Jensen holds degrees in creative writing and mineral engineering physics. He lives in Crescent City, California.

"Derrick Jensen is a public intellectual who both breaks and mends the reader's heart." --Frances Moore Lappe, author of Diet for a Small Planet "Derrick Jensen is a man driven to stare without flinching at the baleful design of our culture.... His analysis of our culture's predilection for hatred and destruction will rattle your bones." --Daniel Quinn, author of Ishmael
