This Hardcover edition is signed by Rosanne Rabinowitz.
This collection of short stories draws you into a liminal world where reality is both sensual and porous, inhabited by principled people who love life and hate injustice. The stories cover several centuries, from the medieval period to the near future and often shed light on little-known histories through the characters present at the time, or through contemporary seekers who get close to something bygone and lost. This isn’t to say we’re overloaded with nostalgia or loss, though there are a few...
"Resonance & Revolt" is a book rich in history and culture, but is very modern in its concerns. Rosanne Rabinowitz draws a line between then and now. There's nothing antiquated or abstract about the past in her work- it's alive and ever-present.

https://www.oddlyweirdfiction.com/201...It's sad that I read this so long ago and haven't actually had time to post about it, because I can't help but want to share the excellence of this book. I read somewhere that the author thinks of this book as a "melancholic merging of social realism and the strange," and that is an absolutely spot on description. There is just something about this collection of stories that makes me want to buy a gazillion copies of it, then hand it out to people and tel...
Resonance & Revolt. From Didcott to Didactic, a grail or Rosannation for socialist outreach but made even more palatable as percolated by truth and inspirationally infused by the book’s creative tapping of histories, myths and alternate visions, transfigured from rustblind through to silverbright. Some very important stories in this book transcending any didacticism. And a gestalt of them all that will be enduring. And a book cover that sings out with all these things.The detailed review of this...
