I AM BARBARELLA: STORIES is a collection narrated by characters at the fringes of contemporary society-working-class characters with a raging taste for self-destruction. Many of the stories take place in Charlotte, North Carolina-a place people rarely end up on purpose. These characters aren't bankers or old money, nor entirely belles or rednecks, but some kind of poetry in between, always stumbling, and trying to survive. These are stories of how folks press on and reinvent themselves in a time when textile manufacturing is dead, and most of their friends and family have long since moved on. | I Am Barbarella by Beth Gilstrap, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
