This writing hits you like walking into Steel Blast Furnace,
By rodboomboom (Dearborn, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: God's Gym: Stories (Hardcover)
I was particularly attracted to the title, and the first of this collection of stories concerning his mom being a weightlifter, that is carrying huge burdens for children, their faith, well-being, etc. This was the best for me out of this, which progressively wore on this reviewer.
The style is grating after a bit, but does raise one's sensitivities a great deal with the staccato scene shifts, in and out of someone's reality, etc. One can only pause at times and breathe deeply, as this writer certainly has a way with getting across emotions which most of us think continually, yet never broadcast nor write down all of them as this does. Some left me in a daze, e.g. where did the jumpshot come from. |
