Review by Paul Lappen (310105) Rating (8/10) Review
by Paul Lappen For those who understand what that means, and are interested in such writing, read no further; buy this book. For everyone else, these are not stories in the usual sense. They are collections of strange images where bizarre things happen right next to each other. In just the first story, a thin stream of sugar is dropped into a tiger’s eyeball, a frog burps a shiny platinum marble, there is a talking caterpillar, and an umbrella reveals a family sunning themselves on the shore of an island continent formed from green volcanic glass deposited hundreds of thousands of years ago.
This book is very much not for everyone. For those who want to
give their brain a workout, this is an excellent choice. For those
who want ‘normal’ books with plot and characters and
all those English Literature words, this book can be skipped. |
