No Poem Is the Only Poem. No Story Is the Only Story. Celebrating Diversity Since 2015
The Mars Room is a prison novel that casts shades of black light on “normative” life. It’s brilliant, dark and an attempt at honesty that makes the recent tribe of dystopian fantasy novels seem like adolescent tales out of Pollyanna.
The language in Mrs. Osmond is like the colors of autumn in New England. It’s brilliant even in its decay.

Exit West astonishes me.
Such Fine Boys might be a good place to introduce yourself to Nobel Prize winner, slippery Patrick Modiano. It seems to be a kind of reminiscence of his prep school days, a distinguished subgenre.
Throughout this novel, massive in its eloquence, time is bent like a Slinky toy.
