Attention Deficit Disorderly has done a great review of Flesh and Bone by Julia Gfrorer:
“Gfrörerâ??s intelligence shines through in virtually every particular, from pacing (the excruciatingly interminable sequence in which the bereaved man writhes first in agony then in resigned masturbatory ecstasy on his belovedâ??s grave) to dialogue (a devastating exchange between witch and demon in which love is dismissed as â??mutual masturbation,â? a form of slavery that prevents humankind from pulling itself out of the muck) to strategic absences of dialogue (a harrowing silent sequence in which an owl is sent to blind a young witness to a horrible crime) to character design (the manâ??s Byronic good looks, the demonâ??s disembodied lion head) to facial expression and body language (the witchâ??s arched back and closed lids as she copulates with a screeching mandrake creature) to a cover that nails the appeal of her wiry, frail characters and line.“
