In my review for Leaving the Sea, I called this story a weird mix of Nicholson Baker and Evelyn Waugh. But of course, it still hums with an unmistakeable Ben Marcus propulsion. This is one of my favorite short stories ever.
I never read The Moors;I never read the words,Yet know I how the leather hooksAnd what a pillow pee.I never spoke with Marcus,Nor visited in nyc.Yet pared am I of that graf,As if the pings were riven.
Little gem of a book (a short story actually). Lovely
The story is good, of course. It's fucking Ben Marcus, so, yeah, it's good. But let me tell you, this Madras Press is doing wondrous things and should be sought out and bought out. I don't mean bought out by a larger company. I mean bought out in that everyone should buy their books until they are all gone.Just a suggestion.
felt like the book was too long but really enjoyed the last few pages. i don't know, the book was just 'okay' really. felt like it was the longest 67 pages i've ever read, to be honest.
