The White Tattoo is a smart, always surprising collection of American stories. William J. Cobb knows and loves his character and places. His first collection of short stories, The White Tattoo, revels in the undeniable allure of the physical world even as it is juxtaposed with the twists and kinks of psychological and emotional pain. At one extreme is the tense, torturous psychology of Motel Ice, whose narrative voice emerges from the mind of a mentally disturbed Jehovahs Witness gazing out on a world of temptation and redemption. Similarly hyperdramatic in its conclusion and its arc of betrayal and violent aftermath, For All You Dorks, Blah Blah Blah conjures up a sleepwalking, murderous father who is less culpable in the harm he causes but all the while most destructive.Stylistically, the stories crackle, snap, and zing. Several of them, including The Wishes, The Atmosphere of Vienna, and Dark Matter, use an idiosyncratic, TiltOWhirl narrative marked by a swirling, shifting focus and point of view, trying to create a multifaceted, complex vision of the world by dipping in and out of the consciousness of various characters.
