In my depression my favorite movie was Erin Brockovich. When watching Erin Brockovich I would sit on the floor, very close to the television. I would wait for a scene in which Julia Roberts was speaking. Julia Roberts spoke and I would press my forehead against the image of her mouth and pray for her to eat me.

Second Flowing Review

Up at Corduroy Books is a thoughtful review by Weston Cutter. I'm grateful that Cutter took his time to write nice things such as, "like Kristina Born’s One Hour of Television, Spivey’s Flowing is a sentence-driven machine (or, larger, a language-driven one)," and this, "Flowing in the Gossamer Fold is one of the richest, most sentence-delicious reads I’ve had in some time."
