Reviews

Years ago in a local pub, the bartender pulled out a white trash bag he found along a deserted stretch of highway. The bag contained several dozen letters between two inmates — a man and a woman — in different prisons. The letters were undated, so there was no sense of chronology. There was no exposition or resolution — I never knew why or where they were imprisoned, how the correspondence started, if they were ever released and ever met. Despite the lack of context, these letters were some of the most fascinating reading I’ve ever done. Obviously not written for general readership (I was an eavesdropper), the content was intimate, unashamed, sexy, as close to the bone as a writer can get. Jeff Weisman’s micro-novel “Lifers” reminds me of those letters. The novel has no narrative line, no clearly defined conflict, no real resolution. The book reads as though it is the discarded personal journal of some inmate in some prison. We are able to piece together certain facts about the narrator (who goes unnamed for most of the book). We know his crimes, we know a few details about his pre-prison life, we know the colorful nicknames of fellow inmates: High Jinks, Lemme, K-Bomb, Menace. But mostly we get a clear picture of this man’s soul — such as it is — and his understanding of the world from his perspective as a “lifer.” There are no filters; people are, after all, wicked honest in personal journals. Despite the vagaries, the writing is crisp and poetic. In an early passage, the narrator describes his face “wearing its wrinkles like an old porch. . .. And my dark green eyes are starting to sink into my skull like a lost treasure.” Scary-good metaphors here. Many of the brief anecdotes about prison life are both poetic and gruesome. In one, the narrator watches as a fellow inmate’s head is bashed in the yard. Despite the horror, the narrator tells us that next to the man’s corpse was “a dandelion growing up through a crack in the concrete . . .. looking all gentle and alive straining for a ray of sunshine.” Wow. Just wow. Weisman’s is the first “micro-novel” I’ve read. Reading it required a certain adjustment in expectations—why look for plot when there is none? But the rewards for making these adjustments are so worth it.
