Review: kindred minds - There is nothing like stumbling on someone you immediately love & lots of other people have already known about for a long time. I thank the NY Times for their articles on Ms Carson and therefore leading me to her amazing mind. Her entries in this volume are like wordy koans...your mind says "yes I know exactly the truth of that"....but is there a conclusion? Of course there is a conclusion, but it takes time for you to think about it ....and your answer might not be like anyone else. All I can say is that this book is an open road....leading somewhere worth going.
Review: Intelligent and disturbing - One of the most beautiful things I have ever read.
