The Street of Crocodiles

A strange, uneven book of fiction, but one that is oddly compelling. It is somewhat like magic realism, but more primeval and mythic than the dark fairy tales of Marquez. It is a little like Kafka too, but much more energetic, teeming with life.
If Egon Schiele wrote fiction, it might be something like this.

A few years ago I was inspired to use him as a model, and I was not pleased with the results. I couldn't capture that combination of the bizarre and the real.
Yes, I knew how he died. Another good reason to hate Nazis! As if there were a need for more reasons!

Thanks! That's my favorite part of the review.

No, although I have heard of it. I'll have to Che k it out sometime.
Some of his stories remind me of the work of the Urdu writer Naiyer Masud.
