Master of Horror To-Be: On the Nightmares of Nick Antosca
You probably haven’t heard of Nick Antosca, but you will soon. He wrote on one of the most psychologically nuanced and visually arresting television series ever in “Hannibal.”
All Horrors Under the Midnight Sun: On Nesbø’s “Knife”
Everyone in Oslo has a parquet floor. This is what I’ve gathered, anyway, from reading the crime fiction of Jo Nesbø.
With “The Nickel Boys”, Colson Whitehead Yet Again Proves His Brilliance
One of the most talented American novelists of his generation, Colson Whitehead’s nine books constitute about as diverse a body of work as any living writer’s.
Brian Evenson’s Staggering Ventriloquism
The author of over two dozen books of fiction, criticism, and work in translation, Brian Evenson is a master of many languages, tones, voices, and forms. His work renders the distinction between“literary” and “genre" fiction trivial.
Two Novels, Fat and Thin: Keith Gessen’s “A Terrible County” and Ryan Chapman’s “Riots I Have Known”
To further the comparison between the two texts, certain thematic valences notwithstanding, Chapman’s debut is an all but negative image of Gessen’s sophomore effort—disjunctive where Gessen’s narrative is straight ahead; knowing and bawdy and essentially unconcerned with portraying human relationships at any great length.
What Is and What Will Ever Be
