The sparse prose of this book is terrifying to me as writer/reader. It is so well written that I find I cannot write a word on the day that I pick it up and read a few pages of it.

This past sunday I had the opportunity to read (albeit cut short by lightning) at Writing Outside the Margins, a literary festival organized by Xtra! along Toronto's Church Street.
