<p>His stories are unlike anything we have known. John Hollander has described him as "a stand-up tragic. Transcriptions of a spoken voice, their cadences linger beyond laughter, like a king of minstrelsy that resounds through vast stone halls centuries after its audiences have died."<br />
The Kirkus Reviews said this was a "kind of Nursery Time Twilight Zone" and it was "like sitting at the knee of a delightfully demented fairy-tale grandfather." Publisher's Weekly called the stories "brutal, satirical, sinister, amusing" and said that "there is a certain tension here that calls up half-forgotten shivery feelings that come from listening to ghost stories in the dark."</p>

Fiction. BRILLIANT SILENCE is a new collection of short writings by legendary story teller Spencer Holst. Each of these sentences, paragraphs, and very, very short stories is a complete and independent act of narrative that delivers the very essence of narrative fiction. In spite of their brevity, these are works of great variety and complexity, displaying a fine intelligence and an inexhaustible capacity for verbal surprise. Holst breaks the very frame of what a story is and what language can do.
