Wexelblatt releases eighth book, Heiberg’s Twitch
Professor of Humanities Robert Wexelblatt recently released his eighth book, Heiberg’s Twitch, which features a collection of fourteen distinct short stories. Named after the first story in the volume, this is the latest addition to his extensive writing career, which encompasses both scholarly and literary publications.
Wexelblatt selected these stories for their differences in character, tone, and form. He explains that “the aim is to deploy imagination and invention to furnish tales about the variety of human conditions, the scope of thought, the diversity of experience.” Readers continent-hop from Europe to Africa, South America to North America, and meet a full spectrum of characters along the way. “Each tale conjures its own world, has its own language, aims to illuminate a distinct experience, a unique situation. Like human life, the stories in Heiberg’s Twitch are comic, sad, pathetic, perplexing, and tragic,” (Pelekenisis).
Though fresh off the press, Wexelblatt already has ideas brewing for his next book.
Heiberg’s Twitch can be purchased directly through Pelekinesis.
