| Sobering. Potent. Like so much of his work I have to read it to the end, let time pass, and then look back at it. The magic seeps in over time and comes back at odd moments, such that my feelings about the book are never quite complete. | |

quote
“We can’t just stop and die,” Call said. “I don’t intend to,” Augustus said. “But some of the men might. That Irishman is delirious. He ain’t used to such dry country.” Indeed the terrible heat had driven Allen O’Brien out of his head. Now and then he would try to sing, though his tongue was swollen and his lips cracked. “You don’t need to sing,” Call said. Allen O’Brien looked at him angrily. “I need to cry, but I’ve got no tears,” he said. “This goddamn country has burned up my tears.”

“As Donatello died, his essence echoed across the universe, and rolled back. It splintered into pieces of energy that crashed into the earth. The pieces broke on impact with the atmosphere, and rained down as one thousand and one lies, forty-six broken promises, and three people saying the words "I don't love you, anymore.”

Appreciate being included among your friends, Jona. Your work looks interesting and seems to be well received. I hope to get to take a closer look one day when I'm not so far behind.Meanwhile, I also hope you'll consider my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man. It's fiction (and experimental), but is inspired by events from my own life. Best wishes to you. Namaste, jesse
