Justin Taylor's crystalline, spare, and oddly moving prose cuts
to the quick. His characters are guided by misapprehensions that
bring them to hilarious but often tragic impasses with reality: a
high school boy's desire to win over a crush leads him to
experiment with black magic, a fast-food employee preoccupied by
Abu Ghraib becomes obsessed with a coworker, a Tetris player
attempts to beat his own record while his girlfriend sleeps and the
world outside their window blazes to its end. Fearless and astute,
funny and tragic, this collection heralds the arrival of a unique
literary talent.
