Tennison Long is the author of a dozen novels and three non-fiction books. He likes to take his readers on a psychological thrill ride, blending the macabre with the sublime while sewing seams of mental confusion with emotional clarity, while offering a uniquely imagined prose that sustains "moments of sputtering haunted brilliance." He lives in Northern California.
The Art of Injury explores the melancholic realms of Becky's fleeting existence which revolves around medical appointments, vaccination timetables, mystery illnesses, well-timed accidents, and other self-inflicted wounds—or what she considers to be performance art for her moveable audience. In her quest for validation from a deadened society, she overcomes victimhood by rising above the pharmacological push and past traumas. Through elaborate role-playing with her friend Chad, she is able to outrun the phantom sadness that chases her. Within this presentation of proxy suffering is the dissection of the perverse connections between caregiver and patient, performer and audience, revealing the lengths to which one woman will venture in her pursuit of purpose before an untimely end.
