"this book saved Janet Frame from a lobotomy- thus making the line between genius and madness, or rather the crossing back and forth over that line, a slightly more accepted fact."

"this book is like a movie that's really beautiful and that you can't understand at all, it's the feeling of getting lost in that kind of beauty, and it doesn't really matter what the story behind it is because you create your own.

while you're at it, buy the record "sometimes I wish we were an eagle" by Bill Callahan; title beeing part of the book."

"Dylan Thomas is the surrealistic master. in the story "The Tree" he grasps the theory of creation and the consecvenses of freedom for a childs imagination triggered by adult telling a story without room for free thinking, and therefore of course leads to free thinking in it's extreme, leading the reader into his mind, following him through nights and days. Thomas's stories often have open endings, these are very good examples. even in the middle of a story, he can make a pause, jump in time, but still keep logic where there is no logic."
