Piece Comment

Review of An Anatomy of Humanity


This is a beautifully written piece that revolves around September 11th; a piece that is part commentary, part monologue.

It is elliptical, poetic, and artfully constructed and in the end it delightfully folds onto itself. The writing is also vigorous and vivid and very textured. This piece remarkably addresses philosophical, intellectual and emotional complexities without a smidgen of sentiment. What is most unfortunate about this piece is the reading. It is too fast, kind of cornball, and in the end the reading undoes a lot of what was beautifully done. Nonetheless it is worth your time.
