Arpad Okay, DoomRocket:
“A surreal thing, this book. As one chapter ends and the next begins, the turning of the page wholly transforms the book, as if by magic. Grey pages of living statues turn to red leaves smouldering with desire. The art consistently holds its style, but presentation follows an emotional lead from poem to poem. And what is a narrative, theoretically one thing — or two, woman and pomegranate — becomes many as the story goes on, an anthology. Despite their obscured identities, the ensnared provide perfect portraits of feeling. The story-cycle magic might be a curse, as no one seems to be able to escape being born again from the corpse of their past, transforming over and over from rot to hot, lust to disgust. A beautiful and bizarre new creative milestone for the medium.”
