Part of the World

Part of the World
Robert Lopez
Review:
This is yet another Calamari Press title that caught my eye and was really worth the read. Part of the World is a rollercoaster of a ride, from start to finish. At first it seems like a simple storyline, but then the language becomes so familiar that you are bound to find yourself questioning what you just read. I found myself rereading pages and wondering how many times the same conversation took place in total. You have to read this book to decide if you are: a. losing your mind or b. the author is playing a sick trick on you. The word play and poetics of this piece make it all the while worth reading. I loved it and suggest you check out the Indie Press Series event at McNally Robinson Bookstore this Spring.
