Miranda Mellis’s THE REVISIONIST
Also in the line of books from Calamari Press is a very brief and very surreal novella from Miranda Mellis titled THE REVISIONIST. This is an insane little story that meshes the surreal post-1984 imagery of governmental screwballery with strange meta-images like a man that turns into a shell on the beach and all other kinds of mish-mash that does a better job of chronicling our current state than any set of photos or nonfiction could hope for.
Mellis’s strange imagery and the beautifully short sentences make for a read that you’ll want to take in over and over. I really can’t say enough good things about this book.
THE REVISIONIST was also a finalist for The Believer’s book award for 2007.
