Booth of Sighs: (Anecdotes of Nunc)

By David Giannini

What a wild ride David Giannini and his parallel presence, Nunc, have taken us on I'm knocked over at how wonderful Booth of Sighs is, how it is bizarre and yet makes sense. There's a great sense of tension (or maybe just anticipation) reading, as I found myself wondering, I can't wait to find out what Nunc has to say next. It has great energy because of that sense of never quite knowing where it will go next, and what words and images will startle and delight as we turn the page. There's a strong sense of structure and movement; I felt as if I were reading one story, and the shape of it all came together in the last few works, as we return to the poet in "All Your Life So Far." It's like you're being taken on a trip into a part of the world (of life? Of death?) that people don't normally get to see, with Nunc as your guide. In a way it had me thinking of Dante, and I can't tell you the last time I thought of Dante. . .
