The
Walls of Circumstance (Pivotal Prose Series)
In Dennis Barone's The Walls of Circumstance the reader finds a fossil, record of our contemporary cultural confusion. These pieces are witty, biting, and weighted with an intelligence that is impossible to ignore. They burn themselves into consciousness, developing Polaroid escape routes that allow us to seize the actual from those who would pickpocket our capicity for wonder. "Like Dorothy's trip to Oz,
the best work in Dennis Barone's The Walls
of Circumstance functions with the expert modulation
nescssary to
truly engage readers...Barone hates Oz and wants out.
Many can
relate...While this collection may not contain a map
out of out our strange
world, it's a fair, true, and often masterful telling
of our time here in
Oz." |
