He writes short shorts

Alex Chee tweeted a recommendation of this...if memory serves me correctly...which it usually does but not always.

I had it in my hand after I parked the car to return it to the library and it fell open to reveal poem-sized prose.  Not prose poems, but short stories.  Very short stories.

I can read this...is what I thought.

I have not been reading for a while now.  These stories are whispers.  Easily consumed though they take some time to digest.  I love them for nudging me back in the reading saddle.

The slim volume is called Blue Has No South.  And it's got a pretty, pretty cover.


P.S.  I've been watching Peep Show.  Very funny.  Strong language.  Cringes and oh no they didn't moments galore.  You can watch on the website or Netflix streaming.
