from 'The Annihilation of the Spectator':
"And I suppose that I could think about that day while I am thinking about something else because I have the ability to think about 217 things at the same time. That is to say, that I can consciously access them all simultaneously. I'm not sure how I do this but my mommy said that my grandfather could actually talk to several people at the same time without confusing any of the conversations. It was like he had five or six brains or mouths. They all got used to it she said because it was like being in a restaurant or at a bank and if you were one of the people talking to him, his other voices and other conversations sounded like background noise or whatever that noise is called that you hear but don't pay attention to when you're out somewhere. I thought that was kind of strange because I've never heard people talking in a bank, even when I was little and voices were louder than they are now."

What's been said...
Each fragment of Brijbasi's reality has the pregnant lack of connection that we find in dreams. He is able to assemble the dream states in evocative and poetic ways that give a wry twist to the human condition. With the exception of James Joyce in Finnegans Wake no writer has met the demands of the dream head on but Brijbasi uses the material with skill. His work escapes the linearity of our sublunar thought.
What's also been said...
Sean Brijbasi is a fresh new voice on the fiction scene. His first novel, "One Note Symphonies" brings a series of linked stories powerfully to bear on character, place, and all the big themes. He is clearly a writer to be watched and waited for. As he says, "the truth and beauty of things only show themselves in moments."
