Dad Says He Saw You at the Mall

Ken Sparling

Artistically Declined Press, 2014 - Fiction - 150 pages

When someone asked me what Dad Says He Saw You at the Mall was about, it felt like I'd seen a beautiful tree and struggled to describe it to someone, only to have that someone say: 'Yes, but what is the tree about?' You wouldn't know how to answer that question. It isn't the right question. The tree wasn't ever about anything. It was just beautiful. -From the introduction by Ken Sparling
