The Glossolalia

Fiction

“The Glossolalia reads like a novelization of Wes Anderson’s adaptation of a Kingsley Amis novel. It balances the satirical and the sincere with a skill that’s practiced but not obvious. I love me some Hollywood novels, and Silke doesn’t disappoint. I laughed and sympathized and empathized, but mostly I was entertained—by the characters and by the brisk experimentation of Silke’s writing. Oh, and one more thing: just read the damn thing already.”
