A review by mdbow22
The Alligators of Abraham by Robert Kloss

4.0

Robert Kloss writes more like a poet than a prose writer. It makes for a very surreal novel surrounding the beginnings of the Civil War through the invention of the TV. He creates a US that is full of intricacy, hate, insanity, and alligators. I feel like I will have to read it again to understand everything he did in this book. Even in this unpredictable novel, he did so much research for it that you have to believe the things that happen, whether they sound real or not. It's a shame Mud Luscious Press went out of business (you can still buy this novel, though), because I would pick up so many more of their books. Now I'm excited to see Kloss' collaboration with Amber Sparks in The Desert Spaces.
