Fiction is often a series of distorting mirrors in which we see exaggerated versions of ourselves, and thereby see ourselves in a fresh way. Stephen-Paul Martin creates fictional mirrors which reveal self and society. His narrative is minimal; his prose crackles; progression from one scene to the next is nonlogical; and old bourgeois bugaboos like consistent characters are courageously dispensed with. And the funhouse mirrors of his fiction show amusing, gruesome pictures which seem to be our own faces.--Thomas Willoch
