Garielle Lutz’s ingenious fiction is a masterclass in how to torque, sculpt, and swerve sentences and paragraphs into something engagingly strange and marvelous, something somewhere pleasurably elsewhere. So you can imagine my immense delight to receive this advance praise from her today for Nervosities (Anti-Oedipus Press), my forthcoming collection of experimental fictions:
“The fourteen sententially ambitious and masterly entries in Nervosities introduce us to a bold and startling new force in American fiction. John Madera is a learned and scathingly observant chronicler of our turmoil, and his prose is some of the most robust, ruckussing, and gravely brilliant I have read in ages.”—Garielle Lutz, author of Stories In the Worst Way, I Looked Alive, Divorcer, and Worsted
