When I was a teenager, REM were my favorite band. I started with Out of Time and then used allowances and Christmas present Sam Goody gift certificates to slowly buy the previous albums. Dead Letter Office came as a surprise to me. Not knowing much about music (or anything else, really) at that age, I assumed B-sides were songs that just weren't good enough for albums. Dead Letter Office showed me that the B-sides were a chance for the band to try something different. The songs were as good as the ones on their albums, just more playful or weird.
Folk Songs for Trauma Surgeons is Keith Rosson's Dead Letter Office. The work is on par with his previous novels, but the short stories allow him to play around more. "The Lesser Horseman" is his "Voice of Harold", "Winter, Spring, Whatever Happens After That" is his "Ages of You".
I'm a big fan of Keith's novels and Folk Songs for Trauma Surgeons does not disappoint.
