Matthew Roberson

A quirky, odd homage to the (also quirky, odd) book 98.6 by Ron Sukenick, also published by the Fiction Collective some 25 years earlier. Part experimental novel, part MFA thesis, part dinner table riff. Like the original, there's an emphasis on varying typography and illustration. Interesting & maddening (the last half of the book is printed sideways, making it very difficult to read). An in-joke that flatters the very small audience who get the reference. There's even a jacket blurb by Sukenick.… (altro)
