![]() ![]() I wrote about Ashley Dawson’s Extinction a week or two ago…finished it since then and it’s a good, sad, angrifying read. I’ll have a full review forthcoming closer to its pub date, but the short review is: Buy it. ![]() It is funny and sad and even cruel, but also sweet (and bitter and very very funny). Mahendra Singh’s American Candide is forthcoming from Rosarium. ![]() Is it about memory? Or is it memory? “If only one knew what to remember or what to pretend to remember”-If I remember correctly, this is the first sentence of the novel’s second paragraph. Sleepless Nights by Elizabeth Hardwick is a riff-novel, or a thought-novel, or an I-don’t-know-what, I mean. Heidegger complains to Hitler Ty Cobb gets turned on to Little Orphan Annie. ![]() Stories that are like poems, or infused by poems-or dialogues, or spirit rants, ersatz music reviews for bands that may or may not exist. I was excited to find this at the bookstore yesterday so maybe I’ll be excited to find some other phantom collection in some eventual phantom future. Is this the only collection of short stories by Clark? I don’t know. I just spent the past hour reading from Tom Clark’s 1980 short story collection The Last Gas Station and Other Stories. ![]()
