The latest Grist Anthology is an innovative blend of some of the most exciting and freshest voices in prose today. Protest is the distillation of a simple human experience - to witness a wrong being done, and to do something about it. The stories featured in Trouble celebrate protest, rebellion, disobedience and general bloody-mindedness in all of its forms. The best writing about protest should inspire, educate, motivate, compel and of course, entertain. And that? s what this collection is all about. There are historical protest stories here ? The Flag, Happy Harpies ? stories set in the future ? Money Bank, Last of Them ? stories of personal protest against sexual and racial discrimination ? Meet Me, The Walk of Blood ? and the closing story, The Calling, which embodies the simple truth that sometimes all you can do in protest is to make a lot of noise.
