Perfect Description
from The Illumination
Kevin Brockmeier
He was discharged from the hospital on one of those stern late-winter afternoons when a low blanket of rain clouds had turned the sky the color of a blackboard coated with chalk dust.
The last time I encountered description this powerful and apposite was in Maaza Mengiste's Beneath the Lion's Gaze. That gives me great hope for this book being powerful and beautiful.
