Bliss
by Jeff Vandermeer
The Glass Drifters are musicians on tour in a nation that only recently completed a fifteen-year civil war. They are a trio, hopelessly intertwined with one another in terms of both history and romance. And they are headed down river to a big gig that might make or break them, but nobody, not even their mysterious local promoter, Bob-Henri—or possibly Henri-Bob—seems to have any details. This all happened a long time ago, “and in some other version of this story, the Glass Drifters never leave the fucking river. ” In this version, they do.
Bliss incorporates details of physical culture and counter-factual history. VanderMeer’s fascination with how humanity interacts with the environment is a constant during the Glass Drifters’ journey.
