dodge blurb

[Paul DiFilippo]

Friends--
Jim Dodge, STONE JUNCTION, Atlantic Monthly Press trade paperback,
1990 (purchased when new but still unread by yours truly):  TP sez:
"Here is American storytelling as tall as it is broadly imagined ad
and deeply felt, exuberant with outlaw humor and honest magic.
Reading _Stone Junction_ is like being at a nonstop party in
celebration of everything that matters."
This thread of blurb examinations reminds me of the focus
paid to another living author whose total output is probably
comparable in quality and impact with TP's.  I refer to J G Ballard,
who has a newsletter dedicated to him, and in which JGB's own blurbs
have been chronicled to similar effect.  If you want to learn about
this newsletter (only hardcopy to date) write to David Pringle, 
the publisher, at "interzone at cix.compulink.co.uk".
