Although I think it was just a matter of publication timing, this one fits: I’ve reviewed Ken Sparling’s short novel Not Anywhere, Just Not for The Ampersand Review.
If you want to be well and fully sent behind the sofa by a very quiet, small domestic novel, you have a friend in this book. To the point where I was late on this copy deadline because it unsettled me so badly and with such keen observational precision, and I can’t actually think of any higher praise for a book that’s so focused on communicating through structure and implication.
