Spry and Fleet-of-Foot

A lovely message from Daniel David Wood, novelist and founder of small press Splice:

“I found myself more swept along by it [Loren Ipsum] than I expected to be… I went into it with expectations of intellectual rewards, which it certainly delivered, but was caught off-guard (and won over) by how spry and fleet-of-foot it was — I mean, it just moves so nicely, and has a tone that I hadn’t anticipated (somehow lighter and satirical, on a granular level, but with an edge, with bite). It put me often in mind of Perec, maybe an obvious comparison — not the Oulipian constraint of A Void, but in terms of narrative sweep and momentum.”
