Reviews

[Matthew · Rating 4 out of 5]

A collection of very short bits of writing by numerous 20th century authors. Quite varied: some are meaningless out of context, while others say a great deal; some show strange, awkward attempts at verbalization, while others are clear and concise. A mixed bag, but it gave me a nice list of artists to investigate.
