Review of Dangling Woman

I like this piece. It invites us into the writer/thinker's world, musing on internalities without becoming narcissistic. A writerly piece. The voice is nicely braided with sounds that place the musings in a very real physical place, where the singular problem to be solved happens to mirror the labyrinth that the writer brought to the jungle. The degree of complexity in the voice/sound mix is just right.
The grown up, though muddled attitude is perversely refreshing.
I think this producer should quit her job and figure out a way to live on mangos and make interesting sound.
Oh if it were as simple as pulling oneself along a cable.
Hmmm. Life is complicated, no?

Review of Dangling Woman

Nice story-telling, rather poetic, made all the richer by avoiding a chronological structure, the parallel between the jungle experience and the rest of life insightful, yet not pedantic or overplayed. I can just see her, dangling there...
