Leave Luck to Heaven

by Brian Oliu

A heart-wrenching collection of lyric essays, each themed around a classic Nintendo game.

 



 

 

 

Praise for Leave Luck to Heaven :

"In Oliu's gorgeous renderings, the games we played become dirges and love stories, set amidst the remains of the first age of the video game generation, investigating the hoped-for lives we once pursued inside and outside the machines."

- Matt Bell, author of In the House upon the Dirt
between the Lake and the Woods

 

"The collection continues on in this way: hauntingly beautiful mash-ups of memories and pixels. The reader is confronted with monsters and ninjas, mothers and fathers. The unreality of gaming is always there, but the unreality of life is center stage, pushed to the forefront time and again."
