I’m not a huge fan of short stories as a general rule, because I typically find them just too short to really get involved in. However, We Bury the Landscape is a super interesting concept, because it’s a compilation of extremely short snippets based on various pieces of art work.

I didn’t have the chance to read the whole book in time for this review, however the stories I read were very interesting and got me looking at art in a different perspective. I can see myself going back to this book over time to discover new things, or just take a short break from whatever I’m doing to read something short. In paging through my e-copy, I really think this would be a fun book to just open at random to see what you discover, because the stories are so short that even if you don’t like one, it won’t last long, and you’ll probably always find something new (unless you majored in Art History, then maybe not)

While this definitely isn’t a normal read for me, I found it very interesting, and I’m glad I took a chance on it. If you’re into art and short stories, you probably should take a chance on it too!
