Man falls in love with statue and slowly lights his life on fire because of that love–what’s not to love! The author was primarily a poet, and the writing bears that out, but I would say for that an 125+ year old work, there’s an absurdist energy here that might make it appeal to readers of Miranda July and Alison Espach.
