Lend the Eye a Terrible Aspect: A Collection of Essays and Fiction

by Loren Rhoads, Mason Jones (Editor)

From the back cover:

This provocative collection of essays, short fiction, and artwork by both Americans and Canadians confronts the issues facing North America at the end of the 20th century. From Martha Allard bringing Christmas to a crack house to Jello Biafra's solution to deforestation and pollution; from Mark Lo's meditation on ethnic identity to Deborah Jaffe's fantasy of domination and control, from surviving homophobia to drive-by shootings to the human need to form tribes: these authors demand freedom of thought, freedom to speak, and freedom to choose their own identities.

165 pages, Paperback
