a novel by Matt Bernstein Sycamore. 12-17-09 “I have seen the future, and it is PULLING TAFFY”–Edmund White. 12-22-09 A series of short essays. Explicit material. A world that I have never been around, but I appreciate the insight. Graphic. 01-10-10 Read the section that included the “Pulling Taffy” piece… mmm, didn’t see that one coming 
Actually, these very candid pieces are quite dramatic. And his going back to the horrors of his childhood & his relationship with his father is rather disturbing, but must be expressed. There is a unique voice that I must hear with his words, very glad that I picked this book off the shelf. 01-06-10 Finished reading. This book brought to my attention that we can not put ourselves in a box. We are different, even from ourselves, and the choices we make are for us as individuals. The author also makes a case against assimilation.
