But while this well-ordered survey exhibition, with its table vitrines and bright lighting, successfully conveys how she was a leading light within a vibrant sisterhood of second-wave feminists, it took too few of the risks that would be necessary to bring her work to life, instead making it seem all too disinfected and bloodless. What is most intriguing about her work from this vantage point are arguably the complex individual and group rituals she orchestrated, using text, singing, fire, sounds of the sea and of thunder to harness female cosmic energy, espousing an attitude that was then and still largely is now heretical to the MFA brigade. Mary Beth Edelson (*1933) is in some circles known above all as an enthusiastic champion of the neopaganistic Goddess movement, whose key text, “Why Women Need the Goddess,” appeared in 1978 in Heresies magazine, published by the eponymous collective Edelson had cofounded two years earlier. Sometimes this made the book a little boring, but you have to admit, if you were to have a story written about you, many parts wouldn't be very interesting either. It's refreshing to see a character in a novel where she doesn't have any extraordinary skills or exquisite beauty.

Handsome, sensitive and mysterious, he might be the one thing Anna is willing to commit herself to in this mental hospital. In the loony bin, Anna meets a bunch of loony people, and loony mental hospital employees. But apparently her parents do because they've sent her to a mental hospital.

They decide that Roland Goubert, The Goober, will be given an "assignment" (2.16) having to do with Brother Eugene's classroom. Archie (the mastermind) and Obie (one of his thugs) are in the bleachers, picking their newest victims. Now we meet some villains, Archie Costello and Obie, members of Trinity's secret society, The Vigils. After practice, Jerry muses about the recent death of his mother. The coach wants to see how much he can handle. His friend, The Goober, has already warned him to show no fear. He's a freshman at Trinity High School, and wants to make quarterback.
