Affairs that end in aborted pregnancies. A life-coach with no advice to give, his girlfriend in so much debt that she turns to prostitution. Hincy looks at the underbelly of society. He shows us his characters' naked skin, and it's all scars.
Without Expiration seems to be the debut book of its \npublisher Whiskey Winged Lit. Maybe that's why the collection comes with\n such a cheesy tagline: Are we good people who sometimes do bad things, \nor bad people who sometimes do good things? It's not the theme of the \nanthology. The theme of one particular story, at most.
Hincy is wonderful at metaphors. Hat off, hands down wonderful. Format, he's still experimenting with that: Sometimes he tells a story straight, beginning to end. Sometimes he tells it in puzzle pieces, in seemingly random chunks, making sure we'll see the whole picture only in the end. Sometimes I feel there's a puzzle piece missing. A chunk too large to fill in from the clues. Deliberately, to make me wonder? To make me uncomfortable?
That's what this book does, un-comfort. With one notable exception, a story called LEFT TO SOAK, Hincy's writing unsettles. Read it in small portions. Read it whenever you're ready to step outside your comfort-reading zone.
Yours sincerely
