The Solex Brothers (Redux): Salt Modern Poets

Autor Luke Kennard
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 iul 2010
"The Solex Brothers" explores the fate of the individual - albeit a rather feeble individual - and of personal responsibility in a culture of absurd, inexorable forces. Farce navigating towards moral absolution in narratives at once Fauvist and Baroque, expunging the twee with a reformist's remorseless vigour; cherishing its influences with a poststructuralist's vertical rigour; and, at times, chasing its tail with a schoolboy's reductive snigger.

Recenzii

Kennard's imaginative range is constantly awe-inspiring, coupling as it does seeming absurdities with healthy doses of down-to-earthiness to concoct, well, I don't care to try to name what it concocts, because to name it would spoil my day. Reading "The Esplanade", which concerns a spy and an assassin, sort of, it occurred to me somewhat belatedly that the voice behind these, um, things (the narrator? Well, maybe) is consistent. It belongs to a participant in what's going on, someone who is a part of things but somehow adrift, at times very switched on and self-assured, at other times bemused and something of a spectator. -- Martin Stannard Litter Magazine "The Solex Brothers" struck me as probably the most interesting debut of 2005 … original and startlingly imaginative lyrical pyrotechnics. -- Nathan Thompson Shearsman Magazine He is a talent to watch out for. He's got it. Let's hope he doesn't lose it, either to the world of performance cliche or the mainstream's emasculating embrace. -- Tim Allen Terrible Work
