"The Reagan Administration has fostered a climate in which a barest majority of the Supreme Court caters to the passions and hatreds of the American mob, stripping away the constitutional shield outside our bedrooms....

“Like a cross between Paul Auster'sÂ The Book of IllusionsÂ and Janice Lee'sÂ Damnation,Â The Absolution of Roberto Acestes LaingÂ is at once smart and slyly unsettling. It is expert at creating a quietly building sense of dread while claiming to do something as straightforward as describe lost filmsâ€”like those conversations you have in which you realize only too late that what you actually talking about and what youÂ thinkÂ you are talking about are not the same thing at all.
