Jordan Krall is one of my favorite authors alive today. And I think this little collection shows some of his best work.
The stories in this collection are inspired by science fiction author Barry Malzberg, and it shows. You can read the influence on every single one of them, but they don't fell rip offs. They feel like the work of a very talented author paying his respects to one of his favorite authors.
Jordan is famous for some of his more imagery-based stories, that read almost like prose poems. In this collection, the stories are more focused, but never losing the aesthetic Jordan constructed for himself.
It's a very quick read (about 50 pages), but it's worth it. You can never go wrong with Jordan Krall.

This short collection of science-fiction stories focuses more on the existential dilemmas of the narrator than any world-building science fiction. The world is the moon. And a spaceship. And dread. And eros. There's a father and a son. An astronaut. And phlegm-fetishism at its very best. Recommended.
