| 04.14.05 | A super short book of short stories. It was recomended by Chuck Palahniuk in his essay about "burnt tongue" language, writing the way people talk which may not be grammatically correct. As an example of that, this book is great. However, the language is SO messed up that it takes much longer to read and make sense of. Throw in the fact that some of the stories don't really have a point anyway (they sort of resemble prose-poems), and it gets a bit crazy. I guess this is what they call smarty-pants writing. |
