Synapses

"Formally inventive, Simon Brousseau's Synapses orchestrates a series of beautifully crafted literary snapshots, each involving a different character, characterized using a sole, twisting and turning, stylistically accomplished sentence written in the second-person singular. These pages depict a vast society of differing psyches, all unique and idiosyncratic, yet interconnected, quasi-neurologically, in a dialogic network of humanity. With Synapses, his first novel, Brousseau realizes the surprising feat of a pointillist literary masterpiece."--
