Robert Olen Butler’s last collection of short stories, Severance, imagined the final thoughts of 62 individuals having just been beheaded — from Jayne Mansfield to Medusa. In his new collection he captures the ruminations of folks in the midst of a somewhat more enjoyable circumstance. It’s called Intercourse.
In his wry, poetic style, Butler transcribes the, often worlds-apart, internal monologues of 50 couples, including Lady Diana and Prince Charles.
A Vietnam veteran, Butler won the1993 Pulitzer Prize for fiction with A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, his collection of short stories about Vietnamese-Americans in the aftermath of the war. He teaches at Florida State University.
Mr. Butler will read from and sign copies of his new imaginative work July 29 at 7 pm.
