Shockingly original and intensely intelligent, 8 10 is a series of snapshots of a world torn apart by war and migration.Fearless in form, Michael Turners 8 10 casts aside traditional narrative structure and characterization to delve deeper into the issues gnawing at todays global society. Through a sequence of possibly intertwined events, Turner creates a challenging portrait of our modern age, drawing solely on the actions of people rather than their appearance whether advertising executives or soldiers, tailors or doctors they fall in love, have children, fight in wars, and flee their homes. In 8 10 there are no names, no racial or ethnic characteristics, and only a vague sense of time. Turners characters, familiar yet implacable, are both no one and everyone.From the Hardcover edition.
