Fiction. Assembled from soundbytes, lists, landscapes, and found objects, Craig Foltz's writing chases the day to day lives of our contemporaries down absurdist avenues. Imagine a world where words pass through walls; where the banal and the analytic co-exist on delicate, but sturdy tethers. Wry, beguiling, and evocative, We Used to Be Everywhere provides a transcript for the post-language milieu.
Foltz is a master at language play, liberating text from the mundane chores of conventional communication while lighting up the brain with the collisions and elisions of words. This book was a pleasure to read.
This book feels like when your friend is in your dream, but they don’t look like your friend or act like your friend but you know that it is your friend.
