I like how he makes language feel like it is softly overtaking you and there is just nothing you can or want to do about it. These stories were just like that, all encompassing. I completely lost track of time while reading them. I think my favourites were: The Year of Silence - which felt almost like reading Jose Saramago. The Human Soul as a Rube Goldberg Device: A Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Story - so much fun! One could easily get lost in this one for days. A Fable with Slips of White Paper Spilling from the Pockets - such a great concept and so well realized. Loved the ending. i love Brockmeier's writing style, and for the most part this collection was no exception; the fables in particular I adore, along with the collection's eponymous story, the View from the Seventh Layer and the interesting the Air is Full of Little Holes. I don't know how the thinly disguised trekkie fanfic made it into the book - it was the only disappointing story in the collection and this (along with Andrea is Changing her Name which just fell flat for me) are the primary reason the rating is only 4 starts, and not 5. Overall - excellent collection, well worth the time. And read before bed, it inspires some interesting dreamscapes. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In these three stories, a young, asocial woman remembers the oddly honest things she wrote in her high school classmates' yearbooks and contemplates her scarred life, imagining an escape with an apparition she calls the Entity. A formerly dull and turgid pastor is touched by a spirit that turns his sermons into crowd-pleasers--that is, until he discovers his inspiration is a little less than divine. And a choose-your-own-adventure novel for grown-ups concludes the volume. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I did enjoy a few stories, notably "Father John Melby and the Ghost of Amy Elizabeth" and "A Fable with Slips of White Paper Spilling from the Pockets." ( )
