Review: The Brief History of the Dead by Kevin Brockmeier

Today in January Magazine’s fiction section, contributing editor Tony Buchsbaum examines The Brief History of the Dead by Kevin Brockmeier.

Brockmeier’s writing is a joy. It’s spare, though not Spartan, made so by his choices of telling detail, which are beautiful, simple, and spot on. There’s not a superfluous word here, and so the reading goes quickly.
