Unsolved Mysteries

Marie Buck

Marie Buck's new Roof Book Unsolved Mysteries collects a group of short prose pieces that mashup stories from the television show Unsolved Mysteries and her reminiscences growing up in rural South Carolina. Buck's work unravels not only the mysteries of the TV series, but also how American popular culture portrays the working class. The violence of the lives and deaths of people named Dexter and Kari Lynn in the TV show inspire in Buck ambitions for social justice, revelatory sexual engagements, and hope for clarity in documenting what really happens to people in contrast to the cleaned-up versions of more commercial narratives.
