I love DD Smith, too. It kind of carried me along without too much enthusiasm,
but then that epiphany in the storefront window -- man, that's good stuff. I
have to read it again, but I would say I'm definitely off the fence.
(Although, without the benefit of having re-read it again yet, it seems like
maybe that scene is the entire reason I like it: kind of the same way I feel
about the title of the previous story, "Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes." I
love that title so much -- maybe so much that I can't see clear through to the
actual content of the story. I guess that sounds Pretty Dense and I should
Clean My Eyes, but what the hell. We should definitely start a thread about
that porcelain, though, and the idea of "epiphany": Joycean or Zen? Is there a
difference? Is there any way to have this discussion without religion? Please?
