"...with its deft handling of beauty and humor alongside pain and isolation, its multi-colored tones and shifting moods, it becomes a dark, difficult, exhausting but ultimately cathartic exploration of the depths of the human psyche."
"This book makes no claims to definitiveness. It is a set of (sometimes divergent) literary and artistic responses to a transient moment in time and history. Some contributions are angry, some beautiful, some resigned; some are clear and some more esoteric. All are thought-provoking."
