Brian Evenson really likes to describe things as having been licked clean. Will likely go over well with fans of Neil Gaiman, Jeff VanderMeer, or Kelly Link. Favorite stories: the title story, “No Matter Which Way We Turned,” “Sisters,” “Room Tone,” “Shirts and Skins,” “The Tower,” “The Cardiacs,” “The Glistening World,” “Glasses.”
It’s Borges. I mean come on! GOAT.
This is one of the best craft books I’ve ever read (and I have read too many). Fundamentally changed how I think about & approach revision. If you’re scared to revise your work or don’t know how to go about it, read this and let Peter Ho Davies give you the answers. Also the story he revisits several times here about his dad is really sweet and moving.
Deliberately took like 4 months to read this because i didn’t want it to be over
Took a while for me to get into, but once I wrapped my mind around the prose style (it's very Octavia Butler-esque, in both good and bad ways) and especially once Hendrix and Craft were introduced I was totally invested. Then it all fell apart in like the last 10% of the book man wtf
