Of Bees and Mist is strange and wonderful - the characters' emotions and manipulativeness manifest into nagging bees, eerie mists, ghosts, and all sorts of magick. One of the most unique stories I've ever read. The Literary West and The Humanistic Tradition go on my Favorite Textbooks List, The Kenyon Review is definitely the best ten bucks I ever spent ... Catcher in the Rye comments will appear at BF on the 22nd.
