Bright Air Black

My experience with this book has been way too personal and visceral for me to be able to give an objective review of its many literary and narrative merits. But I have to say something here (which I almost never do) because I am too exited about this discovery. This is, easily, my new favorite book and I am going to turn right back around and read it all over again immediately. I have never done that before in my life. This book—experimental and poetic and brutal—may not be for everybody. But it is definitely for me; I feel like it was written specifically for me. Thank you, David Vann. Thank you for this gift.
