Well, I'm done with this one for now, the pressures of the PhD workload, but I hope to return to it. I think Lowe shows herself here to be one of the few critical thinkers from the US that can do a Marxist infused reading of a text(for example, Hagedorn's Dogeaters) and actually talk about the text as it is, as opposed to just pasting the set political criticisms onto passages chosen seemingly at random (a la Messrs.

Stevens is quickly becoming one of my favorite poets. I used to think him stuffy and boring, but I feel now that I was just reading with the wrong voice and pace in my head...Anyway, so much here... ]]> <![CDATA[Nated Doherty installed the Goodreads Facebook Application]]> http://apps.facebook.com/good_reads/ check it out » ]]> <![CDATA[Nated is on page 6 of Immigrant Acts: On A... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74846036 Nated is on page 6 of 272 of Immigrant Acts: On Asian American Cultural Politics ]]> <![CDATA[Nated added 'VALIS']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42850749 to: VALIS (Paperback) by Philip K.

by Alan Moore

OOOOoooooh, this was amazing! I just read it too. What a coincidence.

I really hope the movies doesn't fully butcher it. There were some amazing concepts in here, and the characters were so unusual for a comic book...They were much more engaging than usual...their flaws were so human seeming... ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Nated]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34577056 Nated's review of Water Logic: An Elemental Logic Novel
