  it's the minimalism, sparcity written in language form. The matter of fact prose that seems to dull your emotions but is frightening when he does it and melancholic when you see how neutral the world of facts is. They stand out because they don't induce you to feel any particular way.

  He reminds me of Hemingway in that regard, but without the scattershot streams of consciousness. More deliberate. It's like, you say it simply and it becomes beautiful, no matter what.
