Review Quotes

What's DEADENING is: if you go on a tour to too many places, you run out of things -- completely -- to say. There you are, stuck with the biggest crowd you ever had . . . And you gotta crack through it, break the ice-sort of like shock therapy? And you say the most horrible, preposterous thing, and then suddenly it's broken! -- George Kuchar, from the book
