In The Last Time I Saw You, author Rebecca Brown returns to the obsessive, darkly humorous voice that has earned her comparisons to Samuel Beckett and Djuna Barnes. Some of the tales in this, her tenth book, are told in the scrappy, breathless voice of a naif on the verge of a terrible revelation. Other pieces are noir-baroque monologues that collapse in on themselves as a speaker at last abandons a much needed delusion. Intense, artfully crafted and oddly comic, the stories in this collection are bound to stay with you like an insistent, disturbing dream.
