Daniel Kukwa's review
of
Jennie's Boy: A Newfoundland Childhood:
"It's beautifully written, but dear god is there a bleakness to this memoir that made it hard going. It's a piece of art that nearly defeated me through its subject matter...but I made it through to the other side."

"So on the art is subjective, how boring it would be if we all liked the same things this book is a case in point.
Why no-one just took this child to a doctor or reported the family to social services probably reflects them constantly moving around. T" Read more of this review » |

answered a question about
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing:
It was all over the place. I couldn’t finish it. It was badly written. I feel for the guy but maybe he should have waited several sober years before writing this to get a more clear self-aware perspective on his life. He has only been sober for 18 mo

“First, picture the forest. I want you to be its conscience, the eyes in the trees. The trees are columns of slick, brindled bark like muscular animals overgrown beyond all reason. Every space is filled with life: delicate, poisonous frogs war-painted like skeletons, clutched in copulation, secreting their precious eggs onto dripping leaves. Vines strangling their own kin in the everlasting wrestle for sunlight. The breathing of monkeys. A glide of snake belly on branch. A single-file army of ants biting a mammoth tree into uniform grains and hauling it down to the dark for their ravenous queen. And, in reply, a choir of seedlings arching their necks out of rotted tree stumps, sucking life out of death. This forest eats itself and lives forever.”
