ninth book, a real (borrowing from the afterword) wrist-punishing, discursive, door-stopper: “Novel Explosives" by Jim Gauer ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29363276-novel-explosives)

I looked for a review that resonated: https://books.substack.com/p/review-joy-williams-on-jim-gauer

The 2022 paperback cover of Novel Explosives, a frozen stellar explosion over a shattering black flower of flat glass centered in a field of sky blue with the title over the top and author’s name over the bottom in cream all-caps san serif.
