3Guys1Book: My Goat Ate Its Own Legs by Alex Burrett

    . . . always so glad to hear about a writer producing emotionally sophisticated stuff . . . so much post-modern literature feels wooden to me . . .

    Yes, Burrett is not afraid to write in more than one emotional register. The title story is quite moving because of it.


    The stories are mostly small-scale and fable-like. I suppose that's rather post-modern. I am looking forward to more by AB.

    Can I pick that book up at Border? I tend to be too lazy to order it online or too easily taken in by scams that tell me I could save money by ordering books online.

    Patrick, the Borders where I can shop, at Columbus Circle in NY, has a cool website which tells what it stocks and even where the title is located on the shelf! And you can reserve a copy and then go pick it up. Maybe you can do that at your Borders. But it's a Harper Collins book. Any major bookstore or independent literary bookstore should have it.


    If you read it, please let me know what you think.
