About this product
Product Information
Dystopic fairy tales told through the lens of media and capitalism run amok. The Official Report on Human Activity by Kim D. Hunter,which is neither official nor a report, is a collection of longstories that are linked by reoccuring characters and their personalstruggles in societies rife with bigotry, in which mediatechnology and capitalism have run amok. These stories approachthe holy trinity of gender, race, and class at a slant.They are concerned with the process and role of writing intertwinedwith the roles of music and sound. The four stories range from the utterly surreal-a factory worker seeking recognition for his writing gives birth to a small black elephant with a mysterious message on its hide-to the utterly real-a nerdy black teen's summer awayfrom home takes a turn when he encounters half-white twinson the run from the police. Prominently known as a Detroit poet, hunter creates illusions and magic while pulling backthe curtain to reveal humanity-the good, bad, and absurd. Readers will find their minds expanded and their conversations flowing after finishing The Official Report onHuman Activity. The Official Report on Human Activity is sure to appeal to readers of literary fiction, particularly those interested in postmodernism and social justice.

Reviews
kim hunter's foray into speculative fiction propels us into a curious and wildly imagined text that concerns a not-too-distant world full of probes, implants, holograms, and hybrid living forms. The characters in The Official Report on Human Activity enter our consciousness with astounding presence. And like the blues, which runs on the crest of a human wound, the deep song heard in a storm makes rescue possible. For all the strangeness of this book, the solace of music, and, by extension, of all art is what carries us through., The Official Report on Human Activity is that strange, compelling, admixture--part Franz Kafka, part Samuel Delaney, and part Percival Everett--discerning readers often seek but rarely find. This collection of short fiction ushers in a voice new only to audiences outside the Midwest where many of us have been reading kim hunter, one of our best kept secrets, for years.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
