The Rumpus says that We Know What We Are...

...by Mary Hamilton is "vivid, surreal, experimental, funny, and emotionally devastating." Also, that "The author gets more done in those few pages than many writers could in a trilogy of novels. Hamilton’s work is genuinely, refreshingly experimental; it forgoes a polished sheen of innovation in order to take actual stylistic, structural, and cognitive risks." Agreed.

Thanks to Brian Beglin for the review, which you can read all of here.
