Everything Flows is the first collection of short fiction by novelist and screenwriter James Greer. The nineteen stories range from short and surreal to long and surreal; but all share a consistency of intent: to fracture traditional narrative tropes and reassemble the shards into coherent; if occasionally undulant and meandering forms (see: the title). Greer mixes anachronistic pseudo-history and unserious/serious digressions into pop culture; pop physics; pop philosophy and pop music (see: the title); to arrive at something both universal in scope and intensely personal; twisting language(s) into sometimes-strange shapes to devise new ways of looking at familiar things.Everything Flows also features the art of Guided by Voices front man Robert Pollard. Besides being known as one of todays most prolific song-writers; Mr. Pollards irrespressible creativity has been an inspiration to many. His stunning color collages make a fantastic compliment to Greers writing.
