As a reader you have to earn his sentences, one after the other, to get to the bliss, the ecstasy. In this case, it's the very top of Mount Everest. In life, it's the very top of an author's skill. It's the reason I published a chapbook of his years ago and it's the reason I still still love reading him, climbing that mountain.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e - Christopher Bowen, author of \u003ci\u003eWe Were Giants\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \"Flannery O'Connor and Samuel Beckett aren't dead; they're just found each other in the mind of Jim Meirose. 'Mount Everest' takes grotesqueries and near-nihilistic fetishes and pours them into a nightmare that is sometimes funny, always vivid, and unexpectedly incisive. Surreal, scary, even scorching, 'Mount Everest' is a look at our trivial ambitions and pastoral fantasies, and the dreamscapes that tell us more about reality than our waking hours ever could.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e - Jane Rosenberg LaForge, author of \u003ci\u003eAn Unsuitable Princess\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \"In a house moldering in trash, a young woman wades throughher own delusions, as she earns her living being used and discarded like the refuse around her.
