Thomas Kendall’s THE AUTODIDACTS is a brilliant novel — inviting like a secret passage, infallible in its somehow orderly but whirligig construction, spine-tingling to unpack, and as haunted as any fiction in recent memory.

– Dennis Cooper

Like skateboard tricks the most nimble minds struggle to unwind, Kendall's sentences are intricate mechanisms that merge action and abstraction into something so compelling to observe.

– Meg Gluth, author of NO OTHER and COME DOWN TO US

“The Autodidacts is a novel of impressive scope and detail. It’s an absorbing history of how several families have been haunted by a series of deaths and disappearances involving a mysterious lighthouse. It’s also an epic of the everyday, where small gestures and fleeting thou

How I Killed The Universal Man by Thomas  Kendall
"The most succinct way I can describe my reactions while reading this book was a feeling that I was flossing out my brain with a roll of barbed wire. (In a good way)

Shoot Me in the Face on a Beautiful Day by Emma E. Murray
"Emma Murray's book, just like her previous Crushing Snails, forces the read into dark corners of the human psyche. The characters drawn here are damaged. The statements "You haven't seen the real him", "he's not like that anymore", "it was my fault a" Read more of this review »

“I cannot recall having believed, even as a child, that the purpose of reading fiction was to learn about the place commonly called the real world. I seem to have sensed from the first that to read fiction was to make available for myself a new kind of space. In that space, a version of myself was free to move among places and personages the distinguishing features of which were the feelings they caused to arise in me rather than their seeming appearance, much less their possible resemblance to places or persons in the world where I sat reading.”
Gerald Murnane

“looking into her bruised face the schoolmaster thought that the history of the world was the history of cruelty, that it had never been anything else: they limped along the great curve of extinction, one foot in the void, dwindling each year and it was cruelty that made them cling on, pain and the paining of others that kept them moving”
Missouri Williams, The Doloriad
