site_link post a comment I am as deep as whatever body of water you would like to drown yourself in alive daring fate with teeth i love you britt Brittany Menjivar We re home alone You know what that means I told her. This is one of my favourite one bits from Parasocialite This book has a bunch of funny one line zingers I felt like I was on a tour guide of the museum of Menjavir s mind I love the imagery and the authenticity in each text. Delicious and digestible prose poetry Reading this book made me feel like I was at a sleepover with my gals and we re chatting about aliens and boys and life A must read Brittany Menjivar i think i was attracted to the short stories than the poetry its speakers navigate much of the same terrain as most contemporary fiction particularly the new LA but what distinguishes this collection are its moments that move beyond the glossy subject matter of hook ups and hot guys and cute guys and guys that shop at Trader Joe s toward moments of illumination like at the end of ANIMAL ABUSE where the story s narrator tries to help a young man named Kevin grapple with his violent fantasies and inability to feel Rather than devolve into cheap violent thrills the narrative culminates into a trial of sorts with the narrator confronting in quiet rapt attention the chill of evil This chill stems not from any outlandish acts on Kevin s part such as the abuse of animals but rather from his inability to recognize right from wrong Kevin I asked If I was killed in front of you would you feel anything Original sin begat corruption but also salvation and humanity And for Kevin without the knowledge of good and evil the narrator would never be able to help him This is a very exciting debut and I look forward to whatever Menjivar comes out with next Brittany Menjivar
