I'm sorry that it took me this long to try out some of his stuff. I've not read anything quite like it. He redefines the concept of structure in prose. And yet it rarely causes an inability to read his stories. On the contrary, it makes it easier to understand the feeling he's trying to convey.

Fantastic work. I'll be reading more of his stuff sooner or later.

UPDATE 02Aug21: Re-read this today. Been in a weird headspace lately in addition to increased chronic pain. Something about his prose almost demanded to be read today. I'm beginning to think that between old age, mind-slips, and mind-altering medicine I may never really know how my brain works again. What I can confirm is that these stories calmed my mind where others did not today. And that's what matters to me.
