Hurricanes

Angebote / Angebote:

Hurricanes is a collection of letters and essays about the human experience of hurricanes. Two of the writers, the teacher Donna Tiapula and the poet John Enright, wrote to friends and relatives during the Samoan hurricanes of 1990 and 1991. Jerome Gold, novelist and anthropologist, provides a moving evocation of Samoa before the destruction and a later glimpse of the impact these storms made. Award-winning essayist Marilyn Stablein's thoughts on Galveston's experience of Hurricane Alicia off a view of the relationship between the destruction outside ourselves and the fear of chaos within.

We cannot see the bay, rain and wind obstruct the view.... I am so scared. My stomach aches. I am angry...
