This Is Not Happening to You
“…aside from crafting stories that repel as much as they fascinate, Tomlinson proves himself to be a skillful editor. His protagonists depict a vast appetite for sex, drink, drugs and danger; but there is not an extraneous word in their expression, not a spare sentiment to be found.” -- Rochelle Almeida, Pratik “…one is reminded of the disembodied and floating narrator of Jerzy Kozinski’s Steps (1968), a book which reads more as a novel than a collection. But where Kozinski’s singular narrator lives outside of cause and effect, Tomlinson’s characters are mired in the time and structure of the novel. … Oftentimes characters feel exquisitely rendered, their tension layered with nuanced insights.” —Eric Longfellow, American Book Review |
