What people said about ‘Fluids’

April 22, 2011 by siancummins

“Top banana”- Jenn Ashworth

 

“Fluids is a blackly comic novel written in a unique and engaging style. I really enjoyed it.”- Chris Killen

 

“The narration has a hypnotic quality, drawing you into a world that is fascinating in a quiet, neurotic way; even seemingly mundane incidents have a tense, mysterious undercurrent that pulls you forward. The characters always seem ‘at the brink’ of something you can’t put your finger on, and you feel like you are holding your breath, waiting. It’s also, in a strange, off-center way,  a satisfying–and brooding–story of love and that feeling of melancholy you get when you realize an era of your life is over but you’re not willing to move on just yet.” – Charlene Sawit
