Summary: Surfing Lessons
Comment: This is one of my favorite books of all time. Susan Smith Nash is an absolute genius. Her writing is inventive and lyrical, and her stories are fantastic and realistic at the same time. Whatever else you do, read this book...buy this book. You will not regret it.

Rating: 5
Summary: This book is unique and fantastic at the same time.
Comment: Most of what you read you felt like you've read before, but not with this one. Susan Smith Nash combines intellect and art in a totally unique way. It is a book that moves so fast that you can't put it down. It takes your breath away while you are reading it and pleasantly exhausts you when you are done.

Summary: wild ride into oblivion
Comment: I started reading, and I couldn't stop. I was laughing & completely entertained -- not just by the campy, drag queen viciousness of Nash's humor, but because it's all true -- too true --

I'm just a little paranoid about Y2K & I'm saturated w/media depictions of that -- so a raw, ribald, irreverent look at doomsday cults and/or the madness associated with all that really appeals to me.

My favorite story is Dubuffet Dances. I like the art of Dubuffet -- &his collections of the art produced in psychiatric institutions. But the idea of a woman who takes the stage name of Dubuffet & invents "mad" routines that are pure revenge fantasies is hilarious, but at the same time it's satisfying. A sort of This is Spinal Tap deconstruction of cabaret acts.

I'm running out of space. I'm not running out of words. Channel-Surfing the Apocalypse is amazingly good & I expect at least some of the stories will be the basis of a movie...
