A review by saparson
Knockout by John Jodzio

3.0

Fun to read, when a little acerbic perversity is needed to cut the cloying contemporary literary fiction flogged by the editorial gatekeepers and tastemakers struggling to get a headlock on slippery readers.

I read Jodzio's stories trying to anticipate when the marginally normal characters would skew off into abnormality, forging it into a new normalcy. He makes you believe it. The characters in these various stories start out on firm ground then walk off the end of convention's pier, and I'm marching right along with them.

A collection of stories you can binge read.
