Reviewed by William T. Vollmann, some of whose voluminous works I am making my steady way through for yet another article-review some day. You may have heard of his novel "Europe Central" about WWII, or his ongoing "Seven Dreams" historical chronicles of North American settler-native clashes. If I had a few years off, I suppose I could catch up with his prolific oeuvre.John L.

I remember I was so taken by it that I wrote off to request a copy of the script which I still have.
