In these stories, we remember our lives are indeed a sequence of moments, with their distinct and defining characteristics; they’re like polaroids from a personal apocalypse. There is a navigational alchemy in this work, a mastery of subject and craft.

Kirk Nesset has, in his collection of short short stories Mr. Agreeable, given us a beautiful bouquet of crystal shards, each one of which, when held to the light, refracts and amplifies and makes new the entire notion of light. But be careful: like crystal shards — and like any good stories —these haunting pieces cut to the bone.
— Bret Lott

Nesset is attuned to the fine-edged songs of the mundane, alert to the explosions ready to burst even in the dull routes where our lives lead. All this without forcing the drama or cheating the literal crawl of time. I wish I could manage this. Hurrah!
