The Immensity of the Here and Now: A Novel of 9.11Fiction. "In Paul West's 23rd book of fiction, The Immensity of the Here and Now, the aftereffects of [9.11] gradually come into view, then withdraw into a jungle of memory and hallucination...the tragedy perpetually accessible and elusive, too easy and too impossible to imagine"--Ed Park, The Village Voice. "Risky, raucous, filled with moments of audacious beauty, Immensity proves that West, our foremost word wizard, won't play it safe, unlike so many American artists."--Bill Marx, WBUR radio (Boston NPR). |
