Summary: If you have time and nerve...
Review: ... you will want to set aside a good deal of time to try and absorb the many layers of this book. It is an attempt to cry out against female opression but is a failed attempt due to the complexity of layers that can only be absorbed by multiple reads. But the book is not good enough to reread and the comparisons are too far-fetched in an unpleasant way. Maybe I will change my mind tomorrow but I doubt it. Brown overvoices and fails her cause, making this novel an excellent example of 'camp' art. If you do read it, it must be read in order and the entire set of stories has to be read because they all relate to each other. The final story ties the previous stories toegther but really cannot stand alone. No single story here has the merit to stand alone but they work as a collection.

Summary: Not the same Rebecca Brown
Review: I have not read this, but it sounds like a lesbian writer which is a bit confusing. It is not the same christian writer, just in case you were as confused as I was. Dr Rebecca Brown and Rebecca Brown are 2 different people. Just another stupid scheme and confusing lie from the enemy. Busted!!! Please don`t let satan confuse you and try to discredit what Dr Brown wrote. Investigate everything before you judge.
God Bless

Summary: Surreal
Review: Rebecca Brown is one of the most original writers I have read in a long time. Her writing is intense and succint and the environments and situations she crafts surreal. I think that for the mere fact that her work is good she would appeal to a wide audience. More specifically and at the risk of pigeon-holing her and her work, which again is unlike much else that I have encountered, she is one of the best lesbian writers out there right now. There's so much generic fiction being put out by indie alt publishers (they are SO important, I'm a huge supporter, achieving and maintaining visibility in the arts is so crucial to the effort of attaining similiarly in the wider world, but they can and should have standards - if it's one good novel, it will stand out and be infinitely more important then 30,000 poorly written and edited texts that tell us nothing new in the same old cliched language)- Brown's work is intelligently conceived and beautifully written. It is also challenging, but all great literature tends to be - give her a try - I don't think you'll be disappointed.
