Eugene Marten's WASTE reviewed in the Ottawa XPress

Geoffrey Brown's summer reading list in the Ottawa XPress includes Eugene Marten's Waste:
Eugene Marten's slim novella Waste (Ellipsis Press) details the day-to-day existence and experiences of Sloper, a janitor in a big-city office building. With unnerving clarity and precision, Marten starkly executes a chilling portrait of loneliness and anonymity, reminding us, in the process, that that which we might ever so casually discard and dismiss may not necessarily respond so casually in kind.
