Twice in my life I have been compelled to immediately re-read a story for the sheer enjoyment of it. The other time it was a story called 'Get the Lead Out' by Sam Nicholson. I never came across anything else written by Mr. Nicholson. I hope this will not be the case with Marcy Dermansky.

I am 63, by the way.

Prospero's Books was truly great - even on the small screen. I'm a simple factory worker who found the video at a local rental place that has fifty cent Tuesdays. I watched it every evening for seven evenings. The tale, the language, the visuals, GIELGUD rocks. This never made it to our local theaters nor had I ever heard of the movie. You guys rock. I thought I was the only person who ever saw this.

Subject: A Mission Statement by R. Mumma

I really like this piece. It recognizes the music of speech and the value of simplicity without sinking into the quagmire of banal, emotional self-importance. I like the closing lines — but I don't believe that he really means it.

cheers
