Summary: Excellent, but not for ev'ryone...
Comment: This is a collection of short stories from a man whose "natural" form (or at least the one in which he's most prolific) is poetry. Thus, the writing is absolutely gorgeous and poetic. However, many readers (not I!) may be turned off by his obscure stories, which, altough they often deal with seemingly prosaic subjects, are quite esoteric. (For instance, one story involves a man who has an enormous rock in his living room which he makes no attempt to move. I don't describe it well, but trust me--it's a fascinating story.) I recommend this book to the open-minded, to lovers of language, to dreamers, and to folks who enjoy pondering the ponderous but who can accept it when they don't understand.
