    Interesting format for a short novel
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2023*

This is an interesting format to write a novel about a person's life. The collection of short pieces gave a lot of insight into the person's life, along with his family, friends, and people who weren't really his friends, and the culture in West Virginia. I found the book interesting, but it isn't the type of book I would have bought on my own. Someone recommended it to me, and I'm glad they did.

    In fluttering shots, like a reel of film unwinding
  

*by Z***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2019*

Steven Dunn's Potted Meat is set in a decaying town in West Virginia, and while the narrative is contiguous, the action unfolds elliptically, in fluttering shots, like a reel of film unwinding. The reel is divided into three segments, 1. LIFT TAB 2. PEEL BACK 3. ENJOY CONTENTS. The author’s voice is spare and evenly balanced, conveying essentials without overstating.“Every day after me and Grandad sit on the porch and eat fried green tomatoes, my cousin teaches me how to draw.”That’s the first sentence. “I get in the car, nod at Leonard and Dee. And my recruiter pulls off.”Those are the last two, as the protagonist is whisked off into a new life away from his moribund roots. In between them is one of the best original works of prose this reporter has come across locally since the halcyon days of Don Becker and Phillip Duncan, speaking as a former insider, not that there’s any comparison between any one of these writers to another, but that each embodies a level of worth accessible to all, despite their differences, one to another. To which this reporter will add that his discovery of the greatness of FBomb was truly encouraging as to the notion of hidden pockets of greatness persisting irrepressibly in Denver, whether or not one pays attention. What! Potted Meat is a perceptibly heartfelt work, presumably largely or entirely based in personal experience, Dunn having been young in West Virginia himself, and has tangible  impact on the reader, as here:Everyone is downstairs crying. I walk upstairs to Grandma’s room. It is dark. Her dirty pink house shoes are lined up by the nightstand like she just got into bed. The covers on her side are pulled back like she just got out of bad. I leave and ask my mom how Grandma died. My mom says she just turned yellow and died, What, I say. You heard me, she says, she just turned yellow and died. I will never eat dandelions again. That’s the entirety of a chapter in Potted Meat called “Yellow.” Dunn’s writing is stark and pure. Lovingly packaged and presented by indie press, Tarpaulin Sky, Potted Meat is destined in this reviewer’s humble opinion to be a priceless collectors’ item in no time (get yours now). This is a book you'll keep buying further copies of to give away as gifts.

    LOVED IT
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2022*

Vibrant autofiction in short vignettes. It was a fast read. I loved it so much I flipped back and re-read sections. It brings rural life in West Virginia into sharp, sometimes painful, focus.
