Rezensionen
Enjoyed this one quite a lot and I'm looking forward to reading more Brockmeier.
I thought the concept was fantastic and I found it to be a page turner even though I can't say a whole lot actually happens in book.
Wasn't thrilled with the ending because it got so muddled but I think that was intentional.

An odd but well-written set of short stories that usually weren't really to my taste. I appreciated the skill at work but rarely found them satisfying, perhaps because I'm just not familiar enough with the modern literate short story. Many of them seem to end hanging on a moment of quiet that can come off as ambivalent but is probably really intended to be subtlety.
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."… (mehr)

The story is strange - about a world where pain glows with light - and his characters are all troubled and riddled with pain. Their stories are loosely intertwined in a way that reminded me that the world is smaller than we think.
I wish I knew what happened to all these people after the book ended.
