I reviewed B. R. Yeager’s “Burn You The Fuck Alive” for Southwest Review. It burst into flames in my hands.
What a writer. What a book.
Perhaps my favorite story was “In the Shadow of Penis House,” of which I wrote:
“Formally experimental, this piece treats the reader as ghost, You reduced to an uncertainty, haunting the fragments of an incomprehensible but—if the title is to be trusted—fundamentally patriarchal structure. Self-creating You takes us in and out of mirrors, in and out of (penis) shadows, and immerses us further in a task made of broken architecture or an anti-coming of age game. But this game offers no key to its symbols, no rules of play. How are we supposed to navigate if not by participating in the game’s abuses and acceding to its hierarchy?”
