LOU BEACH

12/10/2011 7:00 pm
From Los Angeles comes artist/story writer Lou Beach. His book debut, 420 Characters (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), is a dazzling piece—short stories with verve—and illustration. Eclectic, vivid moments in time, delivered in the exacting limits of social media ... bold, impulsive flash fiction ... There moments are ... theatrical, instantly recognizable and slide off the tongue with the cacophony of a Tom Waits rig. An adroit experiment that marries linguistic restraint to literary cool." – Kirkus Reviews. "Lou Beach uses words with no sympathy for the reader. He bests us senseless with his brilliance." – Terry Gilliam.
