Summary: The way words were meant to hold together
Review: Why is this guy still obscure? He should be up there with the rest of the pantheon where he belongs.Let me try to phrase this well. Breece Pancake is a writer who wrote perfect fiction. Look at the stories: every phrase, every punctuation mark, is placed so carefully and thoughfully that his fiction achieves a balance and aesthetic which makes ninety-nine percent of other contemporary short fiction look like, well, crap. Artsy-fartsy crap. There are images and wordings in here that will floor you. Breece Pancake, more than twenty years after his death, remains the best American fiction writer of the baby boom generation.
