Charles Jessold, Considered as a Murderer
by Wesley Stace
An intimate view of music, murder and the creative life (12/3/2010)
Literature frequently offers a chance to voyeur through the lives of others. Wesley Stace certainly offers that activity throughout this novel. The initial chapter offers great promise. Several ensuring chapters are somewhat tedious; however, having read Misfortune, the …more

Broken Colors - words like a painting (2/5/2008)
There is a quote from Miro, toward the end of the book that spoke to my overall feeling of the book -he said "I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music." Zackheim used her words like a beautiful palette to paint a story that captured my …more
