Rolfes takes everyday people in everyday situations and gives them freedom to act in ways we can only dream of. Impossible Naked Life is imagination off the chain.
“The energy coursing through Impossible Naked Life is barely contained by the page. Mostly told in quick bursts, these stories pack more sharp images and lines of deep beauty and intensity in four pages than most authors can fit in twenty. Some of the stories are abstract and surreal and others feature small “normal” moments told with such precision that the real world somehow becomes even stranger. The people in these stories will stay with you, and I get a feeling I couldn’t shake them loose even if I tried.” -Richard Z. Santos Trust Me
Heartfelt and wickedly comic, Impossible Naked Life showcases Luke Rolfes’ impressive talent. Insightful and full of surprises, these stories are unforgettable, deeply moving, and revealing of their characters. Rolfes investigates the strangeness of a world haunted by desire, death, mysterious disappearances, and disturbing rumors. Men and women, as well as boys and girls, grapple with each other, with romance, with dreams, and with the search for meaning to discover glimmers of wisdom in the darkness.
