Part political fable, part a tale of losses and unexpected gains, Fugue for the Right Hand tells a story of hope and hard-won redemption with the Fall 2012 presidential campaign and Hurricane Sandy as a backdrop. "Michele Myers's sharp, spare, timely novella Fugue for the Right Hand is many things-a didactic fiction driven by moral passion and rage at societal folly and injustice, a documentary fiction with the immediacy and fidelity of the best journalism, a satiric fiction about the way we live now." Vijay Seshadri, Poet, 3 Sections: Poems, 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry
