This story keeps getting more interesting... The December issue of Whet is filled with interesting and savvy pieces...especially the lastest instaillment of this brilliant, trenchant story. Check it out immediately if not sooner.

finally...something i can read that is neither pretentious or boring. i figured authorsden merely featured that which was unfit for human consumption...but blackstone's work is utterly digestible...and entertaining.

I would call this prose of indiscriminate radiance.... This story seems closest in spirit to Flannery O'Connor and Joyce Carol Oates. Like fine music, it circumvents the intellect... we gaze directly into the soul of the characters.

I suspect DUST will ultimately prove to be one of the best short stories of our time-- it is stunningly innovative and the language is just as important as the story because Blackstone is as much concerned with revitalizing language as with every level of human reality.

haunting and dark and confused. reminds me of matthew klam's stuff... portraits of boys growing up, kicking and screaming on the way.

This story has an inescapable, ineluctable vividness and incorrigible toughness. The metaphoric writing flashes with welcome brilliance!

Stocked with his usual quirky, sympathetic characters, this rollicking new tale sparkles with the writer's trademark satiric wit. Its heft and narrative breadth should convince any remaining skeptics that Blackstoneis a writer to be taken seriously.

I particularly en joy the subtleties of the ancillary relationships, hinted at with a rare delicacy. :)

very good... Blackstone's mordant wit and keen sensibility make this piece one of the more enjoyable stories I've seen so far.
