Day 4: The Dredgeman’s Revelation by Karen Russell
Oh, how I wanted to like this story. Actually for much of the story, I did like it. What’s not to like about a character named Louis Thanksgiving who works on a dredge in the Florida panhandle?
But then things go horribly wrong and right about the time skin started boiling off, I just had to quit, so I will never know his revelation.
In my version he survives the disaster, meets a nice girl and has litters of children. I’m pretty sure that doesn’t happen in Russell’s story.
