Mack! (Electric Literature's Recommended Reading)

3.2/5 ( ratings)

In a certain light “Mack!” is a straightforward story of enthusiastic and devoted family man on a trip to Dallas to buy some records. In another light it’s about insincerity and denial, in yet another it’s about a psychotic break and fear of dying, and in another still it’s a story about me, the reader, being manipulated by a charismatic and withholding man, who is possibly a lunatic, and definitely has more information that I do. In other words, there’s an “unreliable narrator,” but to call him that would be far less accurate, and far less fun.

- Halimah Marcus, Editor-in-Chief, Electric Literature's Recommended Reading
