PANK Reviews Wolf Parts (Which is Awesome)

April 28, 2010

I read Wolf Parts last night and was surprised, pleased, then very pleased, then riveted, then had to delay dinner to finish it. It was quite a departure for Matt Bell, but his exploration of the Little Red Riding Hood story was a journey through gender roles, fairy tales, love, cruelty, sex, family, expectations–and a damn good read, too, with Matt’s wonderful, innovative use of language and darkly drawn pictures fully on display.

But don’t just listen to me. Roxane Gay at PANK has a much better review. Read it now and weep if you can’t get your hands on a copy of this fantastic little book by Matt Bell.
