"Rich in its contemporary setting, mythic parallel, and characters walking between the two, The Mourning Fields by David Beaumier stirs empathy and delivers catharsis." - Chanticleer Book Reviews
"The Mourning Fields is real and raw and achingly relevant. A stunning debut and a gift to all willing to see they have a bit of dirt on their shoes." - HamLit Literary Journal
When we romanticize unrequited love, what lessons do we teach?
In these tragic retellings, David Beaumier unravels the meaning of Greek myths in a contemporary setting. Zeus slowly turns to plastic as he breaks faith with Hera, Echo stalks Narcissus from a nearby balcony, and Dionysus runs a college frat house. Fresh and intimate, The Mourning Fields delves into the obsession, hope, and rage of humanity in the face of trauma, survival, and desire.
