Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:

To play the Game of Tongues, you must first understand the caste system. Phineas Poe, antihero of Kiss Me, Judas, returns to Denver to find reality rewritten and the laws of reason fractured. When Poe is enlisted by his old ally, Detective Moon, to find a missing cop named Jimmy Sky, he is drawn into the Game of Tongues, a violent fantasy game played out by disaffected college drones, hacker kids, and Goth refugees in underground punk clubs, on rooftops, and in sewers. Everyone he meets has multiple personalities, and before long Poe begins to lose track of his own identity. If he can hang on to his sanity long enough to find Jimmy Sky, he might just beat the game. About the author: Born in Mississippi in 1966. Old Southern family. Lived in Montreal and Italy as a child. Spent high school years in Memphis, Tennessee. Attended college in New Orleans, Louisiana (Tulane). Dropped out. Finished B.A. at Memphis State. Received MFA 1995 from Jack Kerouac School at Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. California since 1996, Bay Area, L.A., now Santa Barbara. Worked as homeless counselor, taxi driver, bartender, video store geek, college professor (Evergreen State, Olympia, Washington), screenwriter, and journalist. Short stories published in numerous places, notably Nerve and Bomb. Married, one child by previous marriage. One brother. Parents still living in North Carolina.

Reviewed by Mr. Janda (Social Studies)
Trying to offer another view of Italy beyond the romanticized images of such books as Under the Tuscan Sun, Jones looks at Italian politics, football, television, child rearing, gender roles and more. Corruption abounds and somehow most all of it involves Silvio Berlusconi. Excellent for a more well-rounded, authentic view of life in Italy for Italians. For a good time, read it on a flight to Rome. ( )

The Trembler was young and fair, with red hair and stupid blue eyes and the pale furry limbs of a spider monkey.
