From Anaïs Nin's Blogette ::
" Kerouac's On the Road
   meets Dante's Inferno "

" Hell and back again "
" Redemption is a lushly-layered Hero's journey through the Bush years, ...
... a dark-soul, yodely road trip of the unconscious. "
" Lush with wanderlust "
From open.salon.com ::
deloresflores_d's review of 5/4 show ::
When the devil came to California

From the Libretto ::

There's a hole in the ground
and the skyline is strange
Visit me in dreams
and downpours
between drops of rain
I don't know where I'm going
and I don't know where I've been.
...
...
If I find myself along the way
I'll be sure to write a letter
to you, from him.
The problem with the perfect crime
is not that you get away with it.
The problem with the perfect crime ...
...
you can't tell your mother, your brother
your lawyer, your lover, your best friend.
Ever.
