Fiction. Operating somewhere between fiction and poetry, biography and theory, the stories in ATTEMPTS AT A LIFE do what lively stories do best, creating worlds of possibility, worlds filled with surprises. Like the experiments in found movement one character conducts (in Everybodys Autobiography), Duttons stories find movement wherever they turn, each sentence a small explosion of images and anthems and odd juxtapositions. This is writing in which the imagination (both writers and readers) is capable of producing almost anything at any moment, from a shiny penny to an alien metropolis, a burning village to a bright green bird. Danielle Duttons stories remind me of those alluring puzzles where the pool is overflowing and emptying at the same time. Duttons answer? That the self is a rush of the languages of storytelling and moments of helpless intimacyRobert Gluck.
