REVIEWS
Carousel
"The strangeness is this: two should-be enemies
are working together to solve your common-garden variety rape-and-strangulation-murders
at a time when not-so-routine state-sponsored rape, looting, and murders
are abroad in the land."

Notes of a Desolate Man
"It's like a three week journey on the
Trans-Siberian railway. How does one communicate
such desolation without frying the mind of the reader or, in the case of one reader,
without making him eager to lay it down and be done with it."

The New World Order
"The New World Order is trying to force us to surrender our rights,
property, and guns to an internationalist government,
donate a portion of our GNP to poor nations,
surrender our armies, and be nice to homosexuals."

Twilight:
Losing Sight Gaining Insight.
"He may be writing a sad story about his own personal misfortune,
but, all the same, his arrogance shows through.
We can only hope that as he ages, this arrogance
might melt some under the truth of his (and everyone else's)
human condition."

READINGS
Death and Suicide in Anorexia Nervosa
"They are in no way depressed or sorry for themselves
and do nothing to avert their impending death; but they also take no deliberate steps
to hasten their end and show no signs of
waiting or hoping for death."

Plants with Nervous Breakdowns
"He waters these plants with blood or forcefeeds with meat,
some of which bark like dogs at midnight,
while others sing melodiously in the wind
and still others have nervous breakdowns,like sensitive souls,
when the weather is about to change."
