America the Beautiful and Other Indictments

Sinkholes are everywhere now. Whimsical, satirical and surreal, Keller's verbal lightning flashes illuminate our contingent, federated selves, our strange interpenetrations. "Welcome to Christoph Keller's America the Beautiful And Other Indictments, whose title is as misleading as its aperçus are biting original. Like pinpricks penetrating a dark veil, these glittering insights are arranged as cunningly as they are crafted, for a constellation greater than the sum of its shards." - Madison Smartt Bell
