All Those Vanished Engines
By Paul Park, Senior Lecturer in English. An acclaimed science fiction writer, Park presents a vision of Northern Berkshire County that is larger, darker and grander than the one we know. Park imagines a Civil War where the United States is split in two, then takes the reader to an alternative present-day Williamstown, weaving his own experiences with a mysterious tale about secret projects at Mass MoCA, missing steam engines and a dystopian future.
