See you throw out a challenge like that and I now I have to read everything! Congrats on the new book, etc. Your description of Evenson's work really resonates: "Haunted from the inside out" is perfect. I recently read a book of his I was pretty sure I'd already read but couldn't be sure because so many of the stories' slippery details--did that really happen or did I imagine it?--didn't lock into my memory. Looks like I'll be reading Brain 4VR.
Congratulations on the publishing news! Wish I could make it to the Mary Gaitskill discussion. That story is a whopper!)
Thanks, Alyson! Yeah, I read this Gaitskill story every few years and am knocked out by it every time!

Thanks, bud! "Slippery details" is another great description of his stories! He's just so great.
The best.
