Don't think about it...just buy this book,
By Harlan Traughber (Kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Valley of Ashes (Paperback)
It's difficult to find the words to describe this book..."original" might be the best. This book is truly original, both in its substance and its structure. This is truly wonderful stuff; you'll be laughing with tears flowing when you read the poetic truth put forth by Tim Miller. It blasts religion, racism, and the consumer culture in such style that you will be forced to deal with it. Some of it shades of Dylan's early poetry...and there is a reference to Bob Dylan in "Acceleration". It's great how art is influenced by everyone involved in it.The Valley of Ashes contains short stories, passages from his novels, and occasionally, some wonderfully hilarious and somewhat non-sensical poetry. Here's a sample: Upgraded cathedrals! Virtual resurrections! Special-effects enlightenment! Digital repentance! Instantaneous, e-mailed forgiveness! Bottled grace! Commercial Bibles! Informercial Buddhas! Laminated souls! Air-conditioned deities! Remote-keyless entry salvation! Buy this book! Forgo the latest Grisham or King novel, or that romance stuff, and read this hilarious, depressing, and mentally stimulating collection of literature. |
