"Brown is a pimp of the odd. The range and content of this collection sprawls buckshot from the absurd to the moody, and Brown writes with a lush and dense lens." -- The Link
I CAN SEE YOU BEING INVISIBLE is a diverse book of linked stories filled with off-centre characters and their flaws and burdens. Read about a one-armed baseball player, anosmiatics, a colour blind photographer, a time push and his best customer, intruders, the grape-picking diaspora, the whippet police, treeplanters lost in the slash, a one-handed mechanic with a reputation to uphold, and many more. Also contained in this collection are the definitive 'How-To' guide to building a wall and tales of writers getting real jobs (William Faulkner drives a cab, Mikhail Bakhtin becomes a clown). Brown moves from hilarity to foreboding, often with a single page,with a craftman's skill.
