Reviews

[Jena · Rating 3 out of 5]

Leslie Dick's meditation on generosity via an evocation of the potlatch tradition is straight-up brilliant. The story about the lesbian love affair of Justice and Mercy is quite clever, and reveals just how radically particular justice must be (think Kafka's "Before the Law" retold by militant lesbian activists. Only, you know, with a light heart).

An interesting collection - standout section by Alison Fell.

[Kinosfronimos · Rating 2 out of 5]

The first five stories were totally forgettable, the sixth was excellent, and the seventh was good.

I loved everything put out by Serpents Tail during this period. Great stuff.

[Dee Dee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Kathy Acker's "Dead Doll" is worth the price of the book.
