"Lazarus Dying": the man Jesus raised from the dead is alive and living in New York City. "The Fecalist": an author whose best selling work is his latest poop. "Christmas": she loves you, you love her, she has a gun in your mouth. Welcome to the award-winning short fiction of Owen Egerton. Egerton, a rising star in Austin's growing literary scene, has a gift for vibrant prose and unforgettable characters. Whether exploring the strange world of faith or exposing the absurdities of contemporary bohemia, Egerton's fiction is dark, funny, and packed with the unexpected. His stories thematically complement each other, and as a whole, serve as a poignant, often hilarious, meditation on death. With razor wit and compassionate insight, Egerton has a crafted a work that brilliantly explores the pain and wonders of life knowing that with the turn of any corner death could be panhandling for your soul. It will appeal to the same smart, urban crowd who loves Neal Pollack now or the Bret Easton Ellis of 20 years ago.

我覺得應該改一下分數....之前看一半最近撿起來地鐵裏看看,後來發現其實故事都是講的a deconstruction from inside. Very different from mainstream narrative on how a corrupted system acts as humanity terminator, Owen 挑瞭個old school的視角看整個係統。所以他的短篇雖然篇幅都特彆精悍但是內容張力超大,有點卡佛+任何一個dystopian故事的結閤。在地鐵上看完最後一篇,整本書的點睛之筆。巴特可以死而瞑目瞭。“作者之死”在小說裏創造的世界裏本身變成現實。Owen真的是太有天賦和自己的風格的短篇作傢瞭。
