A review by schleyer
Age of Wire and String: Stories by Ben Marcus

2.0

Look, in theory, I’m all for abstract and surreal art that deconstructs the tools we use to communicate and structure reality. And calling BS on anything this opaque and experimental exposes you to being called unrefined (“Oh, it’s a shame this was too complex for you. Have you tried Young Adult fiction maybe?”)

But beyond a certain point, I just feel like I’m being pranked and I gotta call it. So I’m calling it. What we have on our hands here is a naked Emperor.
