Reseña del libro "Canterbury (en Inglés)"

Ran Walker has done something that took true moxie: he finished Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Not translated it, not explained it, not paid homage to it-finished it, each pilgrim with four stories each, roundtrip, in flash fiction, drabbles, kwansabas, and free verse. Canterbury is the fullest expression yet of what Ran understands about compression: that a small container, handled with enough care and verve, can hold huge life stories. Thirty Black pilgrims travel by charter bus from Atlanta to Canterbury, Connecticut-to honor Prudence Crandall's school for Black women, to connect with their ancestors, to tell each other stories. The form mirrors the ambition: Walker writes in multiple dictions, as Chaucer wrote in multiple dictions, because a pilgrimage that contains multitudes requires a language that can hold them. The results are riotous, moving, formally dazzling, and deeply alive.Canterbury is among the most formally inventive works of flash fiction in recent memory.
