Author Description

Fiction. "I feel compelled to tell what happened. Men make such fools of us their perfidy assumes Debordean proportions, and Mary Burger's been there, done that with a vengeance. The whole world's looking for a scandal, and any sordid tale will do. This story of 'suspense but no consequence' counterposes a comic love tragedy with the spectacular news of our day: the OJ/Nicole story, the Oklahoma City bombing. As a stylist, Mary Burger's brilliant and hardbitten, like the broken nails of my croupier. She's the Dorothy Parker of poetry" - Kevin Killian.
