Gone / Economics

-
I have a "Fanny Howe's great but nobody has explained why" speech.

jordan davis review, constant critic :

There are two books published this year under Howe's name. It's as if they were written by two different people: in the poems in Gone, the otherworldly Fanny Howe puns through psychological dilemmas and puzzles of Christian theology with a polished vocabulary and ambiguously connected lines; the worldly Fanny Howe writes consumable, laconic prose narratives with recognizable characters in Economics.

Their world is brighter and darker than this one.

Black and white thinking never gets anyone anywhere there.
