I don't even know what just happened but I couldn't rake through it anymore. I'm sure it's great, I'm very trustful of Milkweed Press, but there wasn't enough mass in this tiny paperback for me to gravitate towards it. Also, no feral characters at all. Anywhere. Just none, whatsoever.

As an incredulous reader of prose-poetry, Ducornet's popping, fluid style delighted me. This was an absolute privilege to read. Incendiary. A paean to the anarchy of youth.

Brightfellow and Asthma sittin' in a tree...this is deep and deeply unsettling novel that unpacks more layers of meaning than longer, less well-made novels can hope to. Kudos to both Rikki Ducornet and Coffeehouse Press! (And thanks to the latter for my review copy.)

Read my entire review at Expendable Mudge Muses Aloud, or as I call it "my blog." Comme d'habitude, I shall post the entire review here in a few weeks' time for the click-a-phobic amongst us.
