Electric Literature no. 6 by Nathan Englander, Matt Sumell, Marc Basch, Mary Otis, Steve Edwards

sshabein's review

3.0

After absolutely loving No.5, I had high hopes going into the latest volume of Electric Literature. Perhaps too high, as no ongoing literary magazine is going to be loved by a specific reader every single time. No.6 links together five stories of quiet resignation and detached violence, and though I found the stories and characters interesting enough to keep going, they did not stay with me. They're perfectly fine, well-written stories, but their complications were not the sort of complications I typically enjoy.

But wait... It's not all bad! My full review can be found at Glorified Love Letters.
