Title: pseudo-intellectual ad hoc rants and the "no self" doctrine
Review: In short, I see Scalapino's Zither and Autobiography as pseudo-intellectual name dropping(s)-oops!) which are ad hoc, at best. If there truly is "no self" then next time (shut the hell up) stop writing once that is stated because anything else you may have to say does not matter. I save my intense delving into ideas for those that have a "self." Aside from some interesting imagery, Zither has nothing of any kind to offer a reader. Do not waste your money on this book! If you find yourself needing a copy, then go to your local library and check it out first. I did not even want to give this book one star, but I had to in order to post this review.P.S. I'll see you in Boise at the reading, Ms. "no-selfapino!"
