Love Letters: Beyond the beyond

Love Letters is an evocative, provocative, intimate invitation into Unknown's "Stream of Un-consciousness." Though intended as a joke, profound even passionate undertones are cleverly hidden and disguised in streams of deliberate miss-spellings, puns, metaphors, and archetypical, spiritual, literary and literal references. There are pauses... blank spaces..often indecipherable symbols. Who amongst the readers has never "blanked out"? And all this in the context of a response to a personal on Craigs List posted by a woman who claims to have given up on finding a right partner, and seeks a male co-author for a fictional romance. The Unknown IS unknown. A mystery. Whatever meaning the reader ascribes to these letters will be unique to the individual reader. God was once described as a stand-up comedian whose audience forgot to laugh. How frustrating it must be to witness us taking Life so seriously! So whether or not you GET it - and Love Letters, the stream of the unknown's unconscious, is not easy reading - DO remember to laugh. Lisa Raphael
