A review by oedipa_maas
Fugue State by Brian Evenson

3.0

Some good ones in this collection and others felt sort of like the author poked around in his scraps folder for filler. The title story and "Ninety over Ninety" were the highlights. After just reading Evenson's book Last Days I can see he favors certain motifs and themes like post-apocalyptic messiahs and amputations. So if you're down for some mild pseudo-Borgesian/Palahniukian spookiness, give this collection a shot. It's weird and sometimes philosophical, but not to any remarkable extreme.
