Book Review: A Triumph of of Words The Lexical Funk

The self published book The Lexical Funk by Daniel Clausen consists of a collection of short stories interspersed with short interludes.  The stories may be described as fantasy, but not quite.  Clausen's characters are introspective and apt to make the reader uncomfortable, both because their thoughts are disturbing, and because on some level they may strike close to home.  The stories are not pleasant or happy.  The interludes between the stories are biographical in nature, and I found them more readable than the stories themselves. The book is an interesting read, but not for those who prefer reading as a form of light entertainment.
