Title: from the Review of Contemporary Fiction, Fall 2003
Review: To read Love Song, a work twenty years in the creation, an audacious and uncompromising descent into the American fascination with violence and the contemporary pornography of horror, is to be abruptly within the terrifying/intriguing sphere of brutal novelty, something "deep, formless, and profoundly dangerous." It plays with genres--the horror story, the play-within-a-play, the psychosexual mystery-thriller--in streams of language that test the weight-bearing capacity of the printed page . . . .
