‘At the WIELS’ by Peter Wächtler

My friend Ezra sent this to me. It’s so funny and upsetting. ‘This one did that stomach thing when I first read it,’ he said to me. It did to me as well. The dreamy intensity of the Inside section of Robert Glück’s About Edsprings to mind, but it’s more antic, more manic, less tragic in scale. But you should still also read About Ed.

Collected in Come On, Sternberg Press, 2013
