5.0 out of 5 stars Keep an eye on this one, June 29, 2004
This review is from: How Did You Sleep (Paperback)
Paul Glennon lives a real life. He works at a real job (as much as any computer-related job can be a real one.) But you wouldn't know it to read this book.

People familiar with Donald Barthelme will have some inkling of what Glennon's stories are like. But How Did You Sleep is not as distant, not as cold as Barthelme could often be. These stories are confessional; they're personal; they're also very strange: a man discovers his wife is made of wood; another man wanders through a museum devoted to his failed love affair; a high-powered businessman is thrown off the Board of Directors and turned into a bear. But the highlight story, perhaps, is not really a story at all -- it is a story merely implied in the notes for a (fictional) art exhibit.

I would heartily recommend this book to fans of Barthelme, or of Ray Vukcevich. Or to anyone interested in something coming from another direction altogether from most everyone publishing today.
