Hell by Kathryn Davis
Review by Melvin Jules Bukiet
"Shaped by a unique vision, books like Djuna Barnes's Nightwood
or Bruno Schultz's Street of Crocodiles have essentially had
to create their own language and even grammar. In recent
times, they have been joined in this incredible endeavor by
Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping, Denis Johnson's Fiskadoro,
and Kathryn Davis's Labrador. Davis has now placed a second
book on that strange, special shelf: her latest novel, Hell."
