Commercial Fiction at Heavy Feather Review At Heavy Feather, Nicholas Grider explores "a tremendous book that deftly weds psychological complexity behind a TV spot to the artificially sweet narrative of commercial fiction." And at Necessary Fiction, J.M. Gamble writes: "For Housley, commercials have become the mythic ur-texts, and he takes up the poetic task of their undoing -- their reimagining, the peakings-under-their-skin. He, like Keats, takes these mythic people, these every(wo)men of commercials, and unveils the shaking palsies that they always already were." Wow. At Largehearted Boy, Dave compiles a playlist for his collection. Watch the ads, with excerpts, here. |

"Hard knocks have never been so entertaining."
