Just finished Yannick Murphy's Here They Come. I bought it during McSweeney's big sale last summer even though I'd never heard of he author. In fact, I just realized about two minutes ago that it was written by a woman, not a man. True, the protagonist was a thirteen year-old girl but I just thought he was a good writer.
The narrative unfolds in a sort of unorthodox methods, like a series of vignettes. It drew me in quickly and I couldn't put it down (reading this review it seems that the author wrote it fast as well). And, to top it off, the binding is spectacular and I felt distinguished carrying it.
Up next:
The Watchmen (on loan from Phil)
