The Unmistakable Shape of Nights River, by Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. | Lovecraft eZine
This is a good example of the type of experimental fiction that leaves me cold, and I am partial to stream of consciousness fiction when handled in a certain way. I wish the author well as at least they're trying, but I found that irritating to finish reading, and all I got from it was the impression the writer really wanted to impress people and let them know how
hip and with it
they are, but it came across as sort of.. hollow and embarrassing to me?
Perhaps I'm more conservative than I realised, but I like it when Justin Isis attempts similar material.
I've come across Justin Isis work before, though I've never actually read any. The titles of his work suggest something within the realms of 'Bizarro', which is a genre I can't get along with, even though I enjoy the experimental. Is his work actually in this line, or should I give him a shot?
Justin Isis doesn't do bizarro. His work is more in tune with Japanese Modernists, French Decadents and New Wave SF authors.
You should read him. He is an important writer.
I shall add him to my reading list.
Thanks From:
Justin Isis
