...author invites the thoroughly turned-around reader to consider these possibilities, Sloan's literary master seems less Kafka than Jorge Luis Borges. He writes dazzling mini-essays on schizophrenia, stoicism, and the role of the artist in relation to society as if his own definition of an artist's job were, in William Gass's memorable phrase, "to canonize confusion...
