Review 'The Week You Weren't Here is a witty and inventive deconstruction of a youngmanasartist's pursuit of love among a confusion of choices. It's as if Kafka's Joseph K had been commissioned to write a Dating for Dummies (The HowNotTo version) in the form of a postmodern novel. This is an auspicious debut.' Jonathan Baumbach, author, B and On the Way to My Father's Funeral'In fast, tangled, addictive prose, Charles Blackstones The Week You Werent Here observes everything, compulsively, on its way to showing how hard it is to really, finally, understand anything. This is a smart, fun book that takes a fascinating look at the minutiae that complicate our (love) lives.' Matthew Roberson, author, 1998.6'Given the strength of the narrative voice, the reader quickly learns to read Charles Blackstone's sparsely punctuated prose...a fine first novel.' The Review of Contemporary Fiction'Remarkable...Blackstone gracefully keeps [Hunter Flanagan] tottering on the precipice between romantic hero and irredeemable cad. It's a compelling balancing act to watch...An original voice.' Bookslut Product Description Fiction. With a Proustian knack for recalling the smallest detailfrom a superficial conversation to the exquisite pain of the perfect kissHunter Flanagan deftly navigates past and present, simultaneously analyzing, deconstructing and torturing himself with memories of every girl he's lost or loved. For Hunter, writing is easy; it's love that comes hard. Even as he prepares to leave family, friends and Chicagothe city that made himhe never gives up on his pursuit of love and meaning. THE WEEK YOU WERENT HERE is a poignant and wry portrait of a young writer closing in on the last of his undergraduate days. Charles Blackstone's prose is a seamless match for Hunter's fragmented streamofconsciousness. From encounters with the persistent 'stalker' Kate, to the elusive Dewey, and the surprisingly independent sorority girl, Lila, Hunter exemplifies our longing for the defining momentas fragile and quixotic a dream as life itself. About the Author Charles Blackstone teaches at the University of Chicago Graham School of General Studies. His short fiction has appeared in Rio, M.A.G., Wazee Journal, and Whet Magazine. He lives in Chicago.
