Our thanks to the Seaboard Review and reviewer Emily A. Weedon for their review of Bradley Somer’s We Are All of Us Left Behind.
“There is a ruggedness to the landscape in We Are All Of Us Left Behind which brings to mind the sere, hardscrabble pumice set pieces of Cormac McCarthy. Somer’s prose whistles clean as wire fencing alone on a barren desert. There is something of Camus’ L’Etranger in the quality of the writing: a perfectly outside outsider alienated from all he sees, hoping for something closer even as he recoils from possible danger. . . . Fans of Chuck Pahlaniuk will enjoy the daring, brisk, masculine way with prose and situations the main character endures. . . . I felt changed by this book, softened, expanded, held by the prose and lifted by its art. It may be true that We Are All Of Us Left Behind, but Bradley Somer’s stunning book will never leave you.”
