Summary: now which average reader would that be?
Review: An excellent, curiously dreamy dis-average work about coming of age. Told in language. Seemed all to make beautiful sense to me.

Summary: Have mercy on average readers, Pamela
Review: Pamela is a rather difficult book to read for average readers like myself. I am sure that there are treasures hidden all the vocabulary words and esoteric concepts thrown around. Pamela, I am sure that you have lot to say. Please write another book targetting average Americans like myself.

Summary: Proustian "new sentence" hits Bay Area postmodern streets...
Review: Proustian "new sentence hits Bay Area streets in a novel called "Pamela" and the formations of space, time and subjectivity are irrevokably altered in this splendid book. Like Henry Adams, Lu is caught between one world dying and another world being born, and she is the cyborg maker of this mongrel syntax, part novel, part autobiography, cool, lyrical, perverse. It is a work of great abstraction and reverse specificity, creating the ethnoscape of silicon valley selfhood in a way that alters reading habits and creates the retro-fitted syntax of postmodern post-fordist subjectivity. It is a poem in motion towards the dismantlement of boredom: should be required reading for high school prodigies, Wheeler Hall savants, and shopping mall saints.
