Book Reviews of I Am Secretly An Important Man
Book Review: A good introduction to Bernstein's shorter work.
Summary: 4 Stars
This collection of previously unpublished works by Steven J. Bernstein provides readers with an over-view of his multiple narrative voices, styles, and themes. Fans of Bernstein's spoken-word performances may find this collection more accessible than his longer works (The Wraith and Hermoine). Furthermore, Grant Alden's introduction to this collection positions Bernstein's shorter prose in relation to his other fiction, musical work, and biographical/fictional life. While no one volume could capture the Post-Beat deconstruction of form, the self-depricating satire and fluid hallucinations, the thoughts of a man as they turn upon and brutally lascerate his own bound-and-gagged self, this collection of Bernstein's prose gives readers glimpses of his rage, his humiliation, and his annihilation.
