Thanks for the good find, Kai--those excerpts are absolute genius!  Here I 
had thought that MMV was purely an embarrassing minor effort about which the 
author would happily forget...a sophomoric attempt at making literature out 
of characters too dimensionless even for a comic book...a muddy muddled 
little tale with an ending tacked on carelessly so the author could just say 
the thing was done...

and yet look what Dwight Eddins can make of it!  How much do you think I'd 
have to pay Dr. Eddins to review my last book?  This is the kind of critical 
press I really need!
