Fiction. "NOTES FROM THE COMMITTEE offers a mental movement through a cityscape as a kind of revelation of a lifestyle. Offering a world at once very unlike and all too much like our own, a city hovering very much on the edge of itself, these putative notes lull one along into some very odd spaces. There are traces of Schulz's Street of Crocodiles here, Borges's Tlon, and Coover's The Grand Hotels of Joseph Cornell, but these crisscrossing influences add up to a wholly unique and original work"--Brian Evenson.
