“Reviewed By Jamie Michele for Readers’ Favorite
The Inhabited Arc by Joe Trabocco is a collection of three short stories, all standalones and each enveloped in the singular consciousness of its narrator. In Epiphany, Lydia is in a coastal house where daily life by the shore slowly awakens an inner awareness, leading her to reconsider an identity shaped by social expectations and the life waiting beyond the Cape. In the story Lumenvael, an older red fox living in a zoo becomes closely attached to a younger fox newly brought into captivity, juxtaposed against a young human and the true meaning of freedom. Stop Past Future follows Maggie Lee, who stands at a river’s edge as her life’s memories rise before her, placing her in a moment when past pain and present choice converge on the meaning of continuing life.
“His eyes aren’t gray now. They’re storm-colored. Ruin-bright. Mad. Intense, with the memory of captivity.” Joe Trabocco’s The Inhabited Arc is a beautiful, wildly intense trio of stories, taking its title from the curved passage linking three distinct lives, each moving toward a wider sense of self, memory, and existence. Lumenvael is my favorite story, although I admit it made me cry—twice. I was so invested in all three foxes, and the shocking twists that tore through their lives also ripped at my heart. Trabocco’s prose elevates into spectacular imagery, from Lydia’s candlelit room during the storm, with wax softening in the sea air, to Maggie wading into a river with painful physical detail. I love the full-color artwork that precedes each story. Readers who adore free-style literary fiction that offers both the speculative and the spiritual will love this book. That said, prepare to be pierced through the soul. Very highly recommended.”
