Query: Quite a Dance

With echoes of Camus by way of John Hawkes, and a little Ballard thrown in, Paschal's first collection isn't exactly totally "original", though it can be quite riveting--a good first night out for an author with some penetrating sensibilities. This collection, more than most, is one that needs to be read to be understood, rendering a normal review almost churlish--and I suggest you DO read it, if you enjoy fiction with an "edge" that runs deep and leaves one with a lingering visceral twinge.
