ont size="2">"This is about the end of the world.", casually remarks the Greek God Prometheus early on in Aaron Michael Zook's We Are Burning. "No last minute reprieve."
The rebel who defied Zeus by bringing the knowledge of fire to mankind, now hangs out in a neighborhood coffee bar, serving up the occasional cappuccino to locals. Inspired by both Aeschylus's play Prometheus Bound and the author's experiences during the 1998 Florida wildfires, We Are Burning puts us in a city slowly being consumed by fire.
