THE BOOK OF THE UNKNOWN, by Jonathon Keats “The title is a bit of a misnomer: there are only twelve tales, not the full thirty-six recounting souls of all stripes and walks of life who, in their totality, have enough righteousness for an entire universe. And as with all collections, some stories work better than others. But the totality of Keats’ work is to remind us of an earlier age of story, taking its time, building on primal emotions, desires and wants that date back to the earliest times of Torah. I really do hope he has enough literary meat for another twenty-four stories.” – Sarah Weinman
