Now Jesus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780998700731)

Omar Corazo's novelette, "Now Jesus," tracks the existential dissolution of Luis Markel, a workaday antihero who seeks to right his foundering life of low pay and a failed relationship by being a committed alternative school teacher. Corazo paints a stark portrait of underclasses, education politics, urban sprawl, the opioid epidemic and other hot button topics using plotless, postmodern, episodic strokes and the many tragicomic hues of the human condition. "Now Jesus" is a darkly shining example of the new social realistic literature where very little happens, yet everything is said, and it all ends with a bang.
