 Salon.com Books | "Happy Baby" by Stephen Elliott
In a friendlier publishing climate than the one we live in now, Elliott might be widely recognized as the latest exponent of what might be called the junkie-confessional mode of American literature, in the vein (so to speak) of Jim Carroll, Hubert Selby Jr., Piri Thomas, David Wojnarowicz and Denis Johnson.
It's easy to miss that; Elliott's style is terse and unvarnished, free of the high-flown, flowers-in-the-gutter lyricism of most of the above-named writers.
His great accomplishment here is the precise incarnation of a protagonist who, for all his damage and dysfunction, never becomes a hard-ass or a macho creep.

 identity theory | interviews | stephen elliott
Writer Stephen Elliott's life has its own harrowing narrative as he was a ward of the State of Illinois from age thirteen to eighteen living in state-run group homes, which no doubt provided the first-hand experience for the stories in his latest book, Happy Baby (originally to be titled The Night Face Up).
Stephen has regularly written a Poker report for McSweeney's.com, and his reportage from this year's primary season was published in The Believer and has led to the book he is currently working on—from the Presidential campaign trail—to be published in October 2004.
Nowhere in this, his fourth novel, does Elliott either over explain or depict gratuitous brutality… the novel's backward structure means that rather than building momentum, it offers the sense of a mystery being slowly solved.
