دائمًا ما تحمل قراءة أعمال جيسون المصورة قدر هائل من المخاطرة من حيث غرائبية اﻷفكار وبساطة التنفيذ البصري، معه لن تعرف من أين ستأتيك الضربة القادمة، لكنك في الوقت ذاته ستظل مستمتعًا بما يقدمه أيا كانت درجة شططه مثل أن يحول الرسامة المكسيكية فريدا كالو إلى لصة وقاتلة، أو أن يغير مسار التاريخ بأكمله منذ بداياته المبكرة لعرض سيناريو فائق الجنون عن حياة جون كينيدي، أو حتى لدرجة تقديم محاكاة ساخرة لمسرحية (البحث عن جودو) لصموئيل بيكيت.

Jason deals with his usual B-movie tropes and some of it seems familiar, but he fractures some of the narratives in appealing ways and a couple of these short pieces are amongst my favourites of his work.

This is a pretty mixed bag of stories that tended to be a bit more playful than Jason's normal style. I like playful on him, it looks good and he should write like that more often.

Jason takes more risks in this one, but most of them pay off

Another short story collection, this time featuring a ton of stories about 20 pages or shorter. A real good mix of Jason’s comedy, abstract and serious stories. Solid collection.

I honestly have no idea if I enjoyed this? I couldn't put it down... but I have no idea what happened in any of the stories

A bit different than some of his usual stuff. I love how sketchy and inconclusive most stories are here. Maybe not his strongest work but Jason is one of the all time best for me. Has that spark, you know?

dark emotional mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
