The latest collection from author David V. Stewart is out now!
Who was Generation Y? Not even they themselves seem to remember. Perched between the cynical Generation X and the activist Millennials, Generation Y was a cohort that lived on both sides of the divide. They had an analogue childhood and a digital adulthood. They grew up playing with the best toys ever made, and their childhood seemed to stretch endlessly into a grey youth. They came of age right before 9/11, a turning point for culture and politics, and as a result, they have been afflicted by nostalgia to a near clinical degree.
From author David V. Stewart, author of Eyes in the Walls, comes an eclectic collection of stories, scenes and aphorisms exploring the perspective and emotions of those born in the late-1970s to late-1980s, the forgotten “Gen Y.” Wistful childhood experience and painful memory mix, leading past despair to hope and finally acceptance.
Afterglow offers the literary equivalent of a house of mirrors: reflections that are familiar and affirming, and yet uncomfortable when viewed askew.
