A Brief History of Camoflague
from San Francisco Chronicle:
In the spell-like, poetic fiction of Thaisa Frank, the fantastic
is never far from the ordinary: her characters glimpse other
worlds in their rear-view mirrors, receive postcards from long-dead
friends, and take lovers who literally glow in the dark, their
mustaches filaments, their pubic hair incandescent. Call it
'domestic magical realism, 'call it the work of a West Coast
I.B.Singer, it’s fiction that 'packs an emotional punch that
will leave the reader gasping.' |
