His Horrible Old Condition
My second (and final) review of Burroughs for GCN, after Port of Saints. Published in 1981.After I'd mailed off the review, I found a book on Burroughs, With William Burroughs: A Report from the Bunker (Seaver Books, 1981), by a British celebrity journalist named Victor Bockris. Printed on page 32 was a photo of Burroughs with his companion/amanuensis James Grauerholz, looking at a mockup for

Pollyanna Karenina
Selfish and Perverseby Bob SmithNew York: Carroll and Graf, 2007376 pp. When I first noticed the title of Bob Smith’s new novel, I thought someone had written an unauthorized biography of me.

It was a pretty good read.Smith was a founding member of

Nineteen Eighty-Four and a Half
At the time I wrote this review, I hadn’t yet read Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, though I’d read quite a lot of Bradbury’s work in junior high and high school. I recall starting Fahrenheit 451 once, maybe in my freshman year of college, but didn’t get very far. I think I found it weak compared to Huxley and especially Orwell. I finally read it this past summer, and will write more about that

Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame On You!
Recently I was reading Mary Gail Frawley-O’Dea’s Perversion of Power: Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church (Vanderbilt UP, 2007), and found this interesting passage on page 58: It is important to remember that the shame and potential danger were man-made, not God-given, attributes of the body. Mark Jordan, professor of religion at Emory University, reminds us: “Certainly it is not God who is
