Roxane Gay on N. God Savage

June 10, 2010

Contributors to the latest > kill author talk about their favorite piece in the issue, preferably by a writer who is new to them. In this post, it’s the turn of Roxane Gay:

N. God Savage’s ‘Particles’ is an intricate puzzle where each word interlocks with the next word perfectly. What particularly stood out about this brief fiction is the fascinating juxtaposition of images and ideas, how science intersects with tangible, everyday objects to create this really interesting, inexplicable thing you want to read over and over and over. Also, I am easily won over by anything that uses the word pointillist appropriately.”
