The new issue of The Collagist is up and Matt Bell hangs his tirelessness out for all to see with another tough-looking issue. John Madera contributed an incredibly thoughtful review of The Complete Collection of people, places & things, and I’m grateful for his particular ability to read. He writes about my book:

“…this book is something altogether different: a deeply moving narrative unmoored by conventional storytelling, one that, among many other things, involves one man’s neurotic collecting and another man’s attempt to recapture that collection.”

And:

“The whimsical world of The Complete Collection of people, places, & things is a purgatory of pop cultural detritus, a subversive invention, a memory, a dream; it’s also a world that unravels as Woods ultimately unmasks nostalgia as a kind of necrophilia before using the husk of its remains to ingeniously invert and pervert the yearning of fan fiction.”

Book is available for the buying, right here.
