With a nervous energy and obsession to match his protagonists, Matt Bell’s prose burrows, forensically, into the layers of the brothers’ lives, employing a multilinear narrative structure and a frenetic plurality of perspectives to reach a core of despair that is both terrifyingly primal and distressingly familiar. Matt Bell's THE COLLECTORS was chosen by Brian Evenson as the runner-up manuscript in the 2008 Caketrain Chapbook Competition. 6627589 5 2009 The Collectors total:34|5:23|4:7|3:4|2:0|1:0| 34 155 71 11 5 3 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 15:30:52 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 06:50:30 -0700 2009 2 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue May 12 08:43:33 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 08:49:12 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Thu May 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 12:21:02 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 12:24:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon May 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 19:34:23 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 18:38:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sat May 16 20:47:42 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 20:48:37 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 18 15:53:27 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 15:54:57 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Sep 19 00:54:33 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 01:07:12 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Aug 06 22:20:34 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 22:20:54 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jun 17 19:33:06 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 19:33:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 10 14:26:09 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 13:23:45 -0700 2009 5 1 false false Mon Oct 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 14:47:45 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 11:46:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 10:09:50 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 10:09:50 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Nov 14 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 10:54:23 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 00:52:31 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 18:35:06 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 18:35:06 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 01 17:08:27 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 17:08:27 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 29 13:51:34 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 13:51:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 13 11:54:04 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 11:54:04 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Oct 11 08:53:44 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 08:53:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 08 10:33:09 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 10:33:09 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 17:28:12 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 17:28:25 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6437936
