Bold writing with visionary power and strong language. . . . I couldn't stop reading it.--Washington Independent Review of Books
Bold writing with visionary power and strong language. . . . I couldn't stop reading it.--Washington Independent Review of Books
Call it the speculative, or the subjunctive, or the surreal. You'll call it stunning and surprising, too. Dubrow has transformed language into paint, film, and shutter. She has stretched back in time to the beginning before the beginning, out in range to the landscape beyond the frame. Her book is a map. Her atlas is a canvas. Her history is a photograph. Put another way, her project is part genealogy, part inheritance, and all art of the highest order.--The Rumpus
