Take a Deep Breath,
By
This review is from: Lipstick And Other Stories- P (Paperback)
The stories in this collection are short in word length, brief, but resonate long after they are read. I had to take a deep breath after each piece, the subtext and implications of what Kuo is doing in using language and writing techniques as a direct reflection of the ambiguity of memory juxtaposed against an almost equally tenuous contemporary identity is fascinating and admirable. I believe that if more people knew about Alex Kuo, a 2002 American Book Award winner, they would enjoy reading this work, though I can also say that Kuo is a writer's writer. There is fine craftmanship in these stories as well as a diversity of thought and exploration that raises this collection above the pointless displays of colorless wordplay infesting contemporary "American" literature.
