KEEP IT REAL, by Bill Bryan

(originally posted on December 13, 2007)

Oh, the voice - it grabs you right away with its burnt-out cynicism masking honest to goodness sincerity, its acidic take on a not-so-amicable divorce and a minefield of murder, reality shows and the quest for celebrity above all else. Bryan not only knows of what he writes but writes in such a way that you're going to know nearly as much as he does. I'll be watching his voice develop along even more off-kilter lines.
