Amazing!

Albert Goldbarth is a gem of a writer. He's mostly a poet, and at times, that's very obvious in this novel. His use of language and imagery is bizarre at times, but always beautiful. Pieces of Payne is an interestingly formed novel. It's full of tangents and footnotes... which creates a very different sort of reading experience. If you love Goldbarth's poetry, I highly recommend this book. If you haven't had a taste of Goldbarth yet, I'd recommend starting with Budget Travel through Space and Time: Poems and then you can really appreciate the power of Pieces of Payne.
