Rick Henry's Sidewalk Portrait is audaciously conceived and meticulously
crafted. It's such a winning work of word art in its modernist
and pomo impulses that it seems it should have already been with
us for decades, like the recently discovered experiment of a lost
Oulipo genius. But don't presume Henry is some dour coffeehouse
fixture -- this is a fun and vibrant work, full of rewards and
child-like enthusiasms. There is really nothing like it.

Rick
Henry’s new work pushes the bounds of experimental fiction.
This story literally twists and turns on the page, forming the
shape of a chalk outline of dead human body. Sidewalk Portrait
is also a wonderful story, which is often left behind the graphic
design. Henry however, proves that the art of fiction is alive
and well, and the experiments of Federman find themselves at home
today.
