Reviews

Each paragraph provides both a means for moving on and for a fizzling of progression, the paragraphs serving as nexus points, as crossroads for paths of discourse leading in several directions. In that sense, Barone's text is rhizomatic, operating with a logic that refuses to be profitably understood through standard measures of narrative. Brian Evenson, Review of Contemporary Fiction In this career-spanning collection, readers are whisked into Barone's wonderfully unique prose, which bounds from the real to the unexpected with the snap of a finger. Full of provoking details, these stories linger long after the book is over. Benjamin Woodard
