Kenneth Bonert - Peace-Keepers, 1995


Kenneth is going from strength to strength. His first published work of fiction was a short story titled Packers and Movers, nominated for numerous awards. Then he wrote an acclaimed novella called A Spy in the Valley. He is now working on his first novel. This short story was included in the beautifully covered McSweeney's #25.



1. Villages with blackened walls and gaping spaces for roofs like gerat mouths calling out in perpetuity to a sky so silken it shone down like an inverted lake of brightest lacquer.

2. As if human history had in its immense trampling inflicted some tragic manner of subvisible bruising on all things.

3. Treading lightly on the stub of his own noon shadow.

4. Foreign diesel and steel roaring in his mountains.
