“A strange and wonderful first-person voice emerges from the stories of Rebecca Brown – The New York Times

In The Last Time I Saw You author Rebecca Brown returns to the obsessive, darkly humorous voice that has earned her comparisons to Samuel Beckett and Djuna Barnes. Some of the tales in this, her tenth book, are told in the scrappy, breathless voice of a naïf on the verge of a terrible revelation. Other pieces are noir-baroque monologues that collapse in on themselves as a speaker at last abandons a much needed delusion. Intense, artfully crafted and oddly comic, the stories in this collection are bound to stay with you like an insistent, disturbing dream.

Rebecca Brown is the winner of the 2003 Washington State Book Award. Her books include: The Gifts of the Body, Excerpts From A Family Medical Dictionary, The Terrible Girls, The Dogs, Annie Oakley's Girl, and The End of Youth. She was awarded a Genius Award and grant from Seattle’s weekly magazine, The Stranger. Read more at http://www.thestranger.com/.
