Reverse Negative

by Nathan Leslie

An enchanting collection of flash fiction, from the companionable to the bizarre, as in "Legs": My legs are Kurt and Mary, Mary is the leg I depend on, the strong leg, the kicking leg, the pushing off leg. Kurt is deadweight...." Another example of innovative writing from Ravenna Press. 180 pages, perfectbound, from an author that brings us so tightly into the perspective of the speaker than we are all but wearing his/her skin.

180 pages, Paperback

First published October 1, 2007
