Toucing and Absurdist must read and SEE PHOTOS!!, July 5, 2005
This review is from: Lenore Malen: The New Society For Universal Harmony (Paperback)
I read the online Publishers Weekly review and I strongly disaagree. I would buy this book for the black-and-white photos alone. They're complicated. Touching and absurdist at the same time, they slyly refer to the history of painting and early sci-fi, and the ones taken in the purported "basement laboratory" bear an eerie resemblance to pictures from Abu Ghraib. ABSORBING AND FASCINATING

Transporting and Provocative, October 8, 2005
This review is from: Lenore Malen: The New Society For Universal Harmony (Paperback)
Malen's work is both a wonderful fantasy and a wry, insightful look at society. You have to admire an artist/writer who can bring together an assemblage of ambitious and intriguing photographs, an involving piece of fiction set in the present, a careful and intelligent presentation of historic events, and a collection of intelligent essays--all to create an illusional world that draws you in, invites you to linger, and challenges your perceptions.
