“Reticulation — an absolute stand out. The author so naturally enacts ideas and the seemingly simple language is precisely right for the complex and multilayered tasks she assigns it. I loved the modest/conjecturing voice up against the certainty and order of the grid and the way the author discovers and then makes use of points/complications. I was ready to feel distracted by the visual grid underlying but then I wasn’t, after all. It sort of taught me to remain open to other elements that I’d assume would be ancillary to the language.”

“The success of ‘Suit’ is largely dependent on its sense of humor. Standing on the corner in a gorilla suit is a predicament so far flung from being a child soldier: it’s absurd. How can we, as readers, take a lady in a gorilla suit seriously? It’s a cosmic joke played on the character, and in that way, it reminds me a little of Milan Kundera’s The Joke, or The Unbearable Lightness of Being. As absurdity goes, the sheer silliness of our lives, the gorilla suit signifies an abandonment of identity both advantageous and pathetic. I have no experience with gorilla suits or child soldiering, myself, but I think it’s reasonable to suspect that standing around in a gorilla suit is better than being coerced into shooting people, or getting shot at.”
