Well, as wholly as memoirs are. Anyway, it's incredible. Painful, moving, powerful.<BR/><BR/>I saw Bodyworlds, too. Man, how trippy was that. I love that quote.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I agree plenty of need in the marketplace for a novel like yours, Robin!alvinalinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503984086482905226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-1161192074545581642006-10-18T10:21:00.000-07:002006-10-18T10:21:00.000-07:00I recently went to go see "Body Worlds" in St. Pau...I recently went to go see "Body Worlds" in St. Paul. Have you heard of it? There is this man who has developed this process of preserving bodies in plastic. So, the exhibit is all of these plastic cadavers...dozens of them and far from being gruesome, it was fascinating..what does this have to do with what you posted? There was one quote that stuck out from the exibit. The man who had created these displays of the human body said that what stands ou the most to him working with them is that life is the exception and death is the norm...<BR/><BR/>And on a sidenote, have you read "Lucky", also my Alice Siebold? I understand it's semi biographical. Also a really fascinating book.Stephanie Roth Sissonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10446071301465656460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-1161133315617381922006-10-17T18:01:00.000-07:002006-10-17T18:01:00.000-07:00I agree.

Yes, it was an interesting night....Rock on, Robin! Yes, it was an interesting night. Although Alice has many more IQ points than I do, she was fascinating to listen to. Very, very deep. <BR/><BR/>The Axl Rose analogy was thought-provoking...made me wonder if the DiscoMermaids will evolve into "tortured geniuses" someday...where we sit in our little coffee shop writing the same lines over and over, mumbling to ourselves, while patrons sit and stare with morbid curiosity at the once-great literary icons who can't quite recapture the spark of the mermaid-dressing, running-man-dancing, heavy-partying days of the past.<BR/><BR/>Nah! That'll never be us. You two, maybe. But not me. I'm not genius enough for that to happen!<BR/><BR/>EveDisco Mermaidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749764215612594204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-1161035532128976732006-10-16T14:52:00.000-07:002006-10-16T14:52:00.000-07:00Thanks for this post.
