Book Review: A Work of Complete Genius
Summary: 5 Stars
In this tiresome age of long-winded reiterations and thematic cudgels we must realize that the degereration of traditional literary fiction is upon us. And so many have been searching for a Northwest Passage if you will. Fortanitly that search has just ended as our Teddy Rooselelt plowed his way through the mosquito infested Panama. He has revealed a Brave New World, a world beyond Marx's wildest dreams, in which picture and word each do they share. Seeing as we are Communists we no longer advocate the seperation of color and style. From each according to his ability, and, most importantly, to each according his need!
