Verruca Music by Stuart EstellMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
suppose for a moment I am sitting here listening to the swish swish of the air conditioner trying to make the air conditioner sound interesting on paper while the eyes of my dog are getting heavy and my eyes are getting heavy and i am wondering why the hell the spicy chinese food is burning my tongue when i love spicy chinese food and why the flip I’m trying to write like the book i have just read
it’s really hard to write without punctuation because my fingers kinda just go there automatically and i end up having to delete all the commas and fullstops and
what
making all the pronouns referring to myself into lower case after word automatically changes them
o
suppose for a moment that people reading this review will not actually understand why i am writing it like this they will think I have totally lost it
yes
i think they will think i have gone doo-lally-tap and god knows my heart is sinking to think people are thinking this
what
swish swish
see that is my brain churning thoughts around amidst the air conditioner hum which is on heat by the way
what
heat as in hot air not that it is ready to jump me
this is not the one about the jumper is it
no i said jump me not jumper
o
buy this book and you will see how brilliant this is as all the words just kinda blend together but your mind really does know where to put the pauses
have you quite finished
no
it is like a river of letters that flow together yet float separately with the current of your own thoughts and everybody should read it to understand how truly amazing experimental fiction can be and believe me there are quite a few laugh out loud moments and many many gag worthy moments especially the verruca click flick rasp rasp rhythmic patterns
ack
swish swish
yes yes
o
and god knows my heart did sink
especially after that massive writer-envy attack i experienced reading this
now it is time for a large mug of tea
