Thanks to novelist, reviewer, and passionate storytelling blogger Kathy L Brown for her smart and engaged take on Every Night…, which she calls “an amazing experience that all fans of short literary fiction will want to read.” (I couldn’t agree more.)
She finds the book complex and immersive:
“like uncovering a box of photos and documents in the attic of an empty house, the reader must piece together the identities, histories, and tragedies of the characters.”
Or, in another great analogy:
“The book is a corkboard covered in crime scene photos, bits of evidence, and red string with which the reader can tie together the picture of a family’s demise.”
I love this comparison, not least because it refers to my favourite part of every detective show I’ve seen in the last five years.
And again it’s great to see a reader, writer, reviewer (we all wear many hats) sharing their response. I’ve read and enjoyed Kathy’s blog and enjoyed her recommendations, and I’m grateful that she chose to review my work. Merrily we roll along.
