Charlene Elsby and 2 other people liked Benoit Lelièvre's review of Poor Damned Souls: "Charlene Elsby keeps raising the bar on herself. Poor Damned Souls is still reckless, still excessive, still willing to make you complicit in its worst impulses, but something fundamental has shifted. The academic scaffolding is mostly gone.

An absurd, dark, and cloying look at office life and how it consumes you. This book is so well done and captures the" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Charlene Elsby (?)

“I felt the semen expand through my body, through my torso, knees and elbows and into my fingertips. I felt when it crossed the blood-brain barrier and made me worry even more I’d lose him, not only because of what I’d done and who I was, but also because of the devil in the water stain spreading across my ceiling tile.”
― Charlene Elsby, The Devil Thinks I'm Pretty

“...It's an atemporal verb, like the universe is rational. The universe is not currently being rational; it is rational despite the time. Eternity is coming, not like a wave about to crash over a cityscape, but like a wave in which we all are and always have been drowning.”
― Charlene Elsby, MUSOS

“Freedom is being assured that every moment before eight thirty is my own time, and they won’t have any of it.”
