Monuments to the Dead

By Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Mount Rushmore has disappeared. No presidents grace its face. The area looks like it did before those craggy faces got carved into the hillside. The American Observer has sent Emelia Sunlake to give the California perspective on a strange experience but, she says, she’s writing “a white, middle-class, female California perspective” on the experience. Something everyone, white, black, Native and non-Native, sees differently. Chosen as one of the best stories of 1994, “Monuments to the Dead” shows Kristine Kathryn Rusch at her best.

“Kristine Kathryn Rusch integrates the fantastic elements so rigorously into her story that it is often hard to remember she is not merely recording the here and now.”
