Lift Your Right Arm

Fiction. The five sequences of LIFT YOUR RIGHT ARM are minimalist novels of sorts--thought- provoking, mostly deadpan prose that is often darkly humorous. From the stark relationship studies of "Bagatelles" and "Dirty Windows" to the wry observations of "Mr. Deadman" and "A Certain Clarence," the stars of these pieces are Peter Cherches' unique takes on Everyman and Everywoman--dead or alive--navigating a world in which very little is what it seems.
