Quote
On ‘Hey Boy’. by A.W.W. Bremont:“[…] taken to the level of de Sade.Structurally, the book is quite like an epic poem, with repeated stock phrases for things and people. Imagine the Iliad written via high postmodernism, though, structurally. If William S. Burroughs had taken a crack at The Metamorphosis instead of Ovid.For a small book, this makes a helluvan impact. I can't wait to see more from Bremont in the future.

Quote
Hey Boy' [by A. W. W. Bremont] is a fever dream of a novel of a sentence. Loopy, depraved, literate in its illiteracies, fiercely cruel and facile, wonderfully unhinged. Reads like Andrew Cunanan's lobotomized nightmares filtered through Delany's 'Hogg'.

Quote
All the accounts of the burial of Jesus are somber, laced through with the silence of grief, the shock that violence does to one's soul, even experienced vicariously in the body of another who is loved. They are written as though they are dirges, laments hidden in the silences and spaces between the words.

Quote
God's relationship with man does not work in a way in which man stumbles and then God has to drop what he is doing in order to lift him up; rather, man stumbles so that God can lift him up. Hence it is utterly impossible to truly diminish his glory.
