Reviews

The intelligence and emotional sophistication of this book is matched by a directness, even a brutality, that is rather exciting to read. Schenk is remarkably erudite on world myth, and has a refreshing understanding of the importance of beauty. - Frederick Turner, author of Rebirth of Value: Meditations on Beauty, Ecology, Religion, and Education Dark Light deals with an issue-death-that is not a very popular or comfortable topic for most people and does so in a rather original way, by demonstrating links to our day-to-day existence as human beings. - Sandra A. Wawrytko, San Diego State University
