Review: Weird Noir Out of the Jar
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 5, 2012
I loved this simple piece of modern noir. It wanders off in places but makes up for any lapses with the great moody images that swirl around like smoke painting hard board to generate a graphic novel with words only.(Kind of like how they used to do it.) This is not a read for anyone looking for mainstream fiction with structured plot and crafted characters they can empathize with. No, this is more like Carson McCulluers goes to Nathanael West's house to dream from a pipe. I love it. It is weird fiction, you don't need to understand it, you just unclench your mind and experience it. Hope to see more of Moxie Mexcal or whoever it is behind the mask.
