Rainbow Stories | William T. Vollmann
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Here are 13 daring and innovative tales dealing with "skinheads, x-ray patients, whores, lovers, fetishists, and other lost souls" who populate landscapes as diverse as ancient Babylon, India, and contemporary San Francisco. Part fiction, part reportage, these narratives are laced with a bleak and bitter humor, and portray a dazzling array of characters.

I appreciate the originality of themes and voice, the research that went into writing these stories, but it‘s just not for me.

Highly recommended to poets or anyone who loves experimental fiction. Dark and gritty with a high dose of empathy and sincerity, breathlessly beautiful prose. It's weird. It's amazing. It is strangely easy to read. Took me about a week to finish and I'm so glad I did.

I've never read a book like this and that makes the experience intoxicating and a little sad.
