Tumbled through mysteries and emotions, David Nikki Crouse’s two books are vibrantly alive with possibility and the consequences of being human.
“I’m Here: Alaskan Stories” and “Trouble Will Save You: Three Novellas” by David Nikki CrouseBy David Nikki Crouse; University of Alaska Press, 2023; 191 pages; $18.95.By David Nikki Crouse; Boreal Books/Red Hen Press, 2023; 192 pages; $16.95.
All of Crouse’s stories in these two books, in fact, deeply observe both inner and outer landscapes. The characters involved operate on the margins of society and/or are caught in traumatic situations; there are reasons they live in edge places like the outskirts of Fairbanks or are in some kind of transition between lives or circumstances. They struggle with weather and balky vehicles, and with who they are. They tell stories, they lie, they live in their imaginations.
In the third story, the owner of a comic shop organizes Dungeons & Dragons games. “Being a dungeon master is close to godhood. I stand outside the action, but my presence is found in everything. I’m the voice of every monster and barmaid, the scheme of every villain, and the sage advice of every friendly wizard they meet along the journey.
