Customer Review: Searle is the celebrity not in disgrace.
This collection of stories is both humorous and sad. Searle is a fine wordsperson and she takes you into the original world of imagination within her characters. Her themes are loss, longing for recognition, real or imagined, worlds of celebrities and dysfunctional family issues. An interesting minor theme is Searle realistically portraying individuals with developmental handicaps in a real way. Their characters are neither grotesque nor "happy angels". This collection tells wonderful and original stories, a real treat.
Customer Review: sex for the complex
This whole collection feels strong and sure. Elizabeth Searle's style is such a pleasure!--the rhythm, the images, the sensual intelligent prose. These stories center around women and girls wanting and needing to be watched. The title piece works perfectly as a film noir novella. Tight, fast but complex; shapely; and it has a satisfyingly dark ending. I also like the story The Young and the Rest of Us. It has a lot of style and power, and a lot of feeling. Compassion for all characters. I read in order to learn how to live life, how to see the world and other people more clearly and deeply. Elizabeth Searle's writing gives me that!
