To read this book I upgraded my library to include 1) Foreign language dictionaries, including Gaelic and Sanskrit, 2) a good dictionary of etymology, 3) Greek and roman Myths 4) multi-level encyclopedia.

As an English prof in NYC, I use this book in a Modern Lit class studying new writing published in the last decade. Not a single book is from a large commercial house - they are all from small presses.

In this era of sound bytes, 3 minute music videos, 100 minute movies and 200 page cookie-cutter novels, there's little new of any real substance coming into the culture. Thank heaven for the small presses that publish books like these. Joyce James is going to be one of the few female writers/bards/thinkers to be remembered from the late Twentieth Century American cultural wasteland.

that a mere book on mere pages could equal the relegious experience is something which i had not considered.......untill "THE JUDAS COMPOUND"
NOT AT ALL.......AT ALL.
I viewed it straight and levle, on the squair.......AND IN ARCADIA I.
ps. FNORD!
