Stories in the Worst Way

Summary: Inspissance
Review: This word--I know what it means even though I'm sure it's made-up. That's the kind of edge that Gary Lutz dances on and gleefully. He will surprise a reader with a turn of phrase or a turn of plot or character that elicits a gasp and sometimes also a guffaw. I particularly loved "The Daughter," the last story in the book, where the narrator creates an index about his daughter. "Inconsolably okay, 00" This book is inconsolably underread.

Summary: Cultural Dysphoria As A Lovely Verb
Review: Where the hell did this guy come from? How come there's no picture of him on the book? Why isn't he world famous?! This amazing collection is like nothing I've ever read. Bits of smug language mixed with chunks of black humour and inventive story construction will make your head spin!
