Over at NewPages, J.A. Tyler discusses the difficult yet rewarding conceit of Doug Nufer’s By Kelman Out of Pessoa:
As a moment of recon, gathering data and spilling it onto the page in words and plot-lines and images, By Kelman Out of Pessoa succeeds. The narrative shifts are unpredictable thanks to their grounding in gamed risk, and the language is its own amalgam of plot-driven characterization and constant word-play, always switching and reversing and reiterating itself in the form of manipulated sentences.
