Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Wow, talk about compelling blurbs - "There is a muscular certainty to the best of Papernick's stories that is altogether harrowing. They offer concise, explosive portraits of brittle tempers, the furies of citizens whose sentiments have been perverted in the pressure cooker of one of the world's most dangerously impassioned regions. . . Papernick's penetrating, clear-sighted stories ring true and yet they bring utterly no consolation. But who ever said that understanding would?"— The New York Times Book ReviewOk, now on order courtesy of the Ottawa Public Library system... (I suppose in fairness to the theme, I ought first to finally finish Skinny Legs and All). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hey! Nice Blurb, Evil. Very accurate. To me, the most characteristic aspect to his stories is that they almost always just ... end. I mean, there's no ending. You're left wanting one. Brilliant. (My girlfriend/fiancee, Lassie, actually hates that about his writing. I'm sure Papernick would be proud to hear it.) Seriously. Read one of this guy's stories; at least from his website. (Then, go buy his book! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
