The thirteen stories in Chris Tarry’s richly imagined debut, How To Carry Bigfoot Home, lay bare the insurmountable forces that determine who we are and who we become. From an out-of-work dragon-slaying father in “Here Be Dragons” to a family arguing aboard a rocket ship in “Topics in Advanced Rocketry,” the stories use fantastic settings, blazing wit, and imaginative circumstances to explore very human truths. The stories work to reconcile the public self with the private heart—to contemplate the monsters we carry home and lay bare for the ones we love the most.
"Chris Tarry's stories come at what we might call The Problem of Men as Boys from all possible angles, from a hapless medieval stay-at-home Dad who's running a con game out of his one-room hovel to a Bigfoot who's a sad failure as a creative writing teacher. These stories hilariously and poignantly evoke the way, when it comes to relationships, all men are living under a leaky thatched roof with winter on the way, always believing they're on the edge of a turnaround, even though failure keeps returning like an old friend back in town.” —Jim Shepard, Story Prize-winning author of You Think That's Bad and Project X
"Short stories are on the rise again, they never should have been thrown to the wayside in the first place, and this collection shows us the beauty of the story, what happens when you hit the perfect note and make a whole room fall silent." — Nick Sweeney, Atticus Review

An empire at stake; two powerful men in love with the same exquisite, inscrutable woman; and a plot that will change the course of history. Feng Yi Ting is not only a profoundly operatic story, it is the historically true account of Diao Chan, a woman of legendary beauty and the central figure in a dangerous rivalry between aristocrat Dong Zhuo and his godson, General Lu Bu. Guo Wenjing, one of China's most important contemporary composers, defines the fateful moment when Diao and Lu meet in the Feng Yi Ting--or Phoenix Pavilion--where she encourages Lu to eliminate Dong and thus save the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Performed by two greatly revered Chinese opera performers, the enchanting score combines Chinese and Western musical instruments and traditions to create music that is unmistakably contemporary but also evocative of something ancient. Directed by internationally acclaimed film director Atom Egoyan, designed by Derek McLane with costumes by Han Feng and video by Tsang Kin-wah, this new production brings a fresh perspective to a classic story of love, corruption, and political intrigue.
