Book Reviews of The Voice Imitator
Book Review: haunting and strangely amusing
Summary: 5 Stars
these stories stick like a long, thin, glass splinter in your core. bernhard tools scenes from the everyday, but they're not simply everyday occurences. he seems to tap into the same magical realm that garcia lorca does in his ability to write terse, packed prose that somehow floats above its literal meaning. they are tiny details and instances set briefly side-by-side as if in a complex still-life whose parts are disparate but make sense together, somehow.
in The Voice Imitator, bernhard gets to you. you can take it in little doses or all at once, but in the end, you'll be grinning and you won't know why.
