Arthur Graham's review
of
You Only Need One Kidney, so I Removed One of Mine and Made It Into My Butler; Also, My House Is Haunted by the Ghost of Blockbuster Video:
"I don't always read books about kidney butlers, banjo boys, and ghosts of long-dead video rental franchises, but when I do, I read Douglas Hackle, if for no other reason than because no one, and I mean NO ONE else writes books like this, books so bat"

“I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.”

― A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
“I search—looking inward past glued pieces of
watermelon shells harboring vestiges of what I thought
was once a lush field of texts and subtexts—for that
nameless creative spirit who haunts me still.
Somewhere along
this ascending slope, though, the writer I have
strived to become has lost his way while attempting to
explore a labyrinth of ideas. Perhaps that creative creature has merely spent too much time theorizing
about the petroglyphs surrounding him, thinking that
they are subtle clues for the most direct route to
freedom.”
