Tales of the Great Unspoken

I’m running out of ways to say that I liked a book. This is another Xeric award winner and, with a few notable exceptions, these are always worth picking up. It’s from a couple of years ago and I don’t have a clue what he’s done since then (anybody?), but he certainly got off to a good start. It’s split up into three parts: The Dignified Devil and his despair (color and beautifully done), The Stranger and his antics (black and white and kind of slapstick stuff. Changes the whole theme of the book), and back to The Dignified Devil and his job as a salesman who’s given the task of selling something to the one client that his firm has been unable to crack, with one special stipulation: he doesn’t know what he’s selling. Is it legal to use “:” twice in one sentence? No, I didn’t think so. Anyway, well done. This has been out for a few years so you probably already have this, or you’ve heard other people say good things about it, so I’m just adding my voice to the chorus. Funny at times, poignant and sad at others, surreal at others still, it works all the way through. I’m putting a few pictures up instead of my customary one, so maybe you can figure out for yourself how much you might like it. Just found his website.It’s pretty nice, but beware if you have a slow computer. If you have a nice computer, enjoy the flicks…
