I recently wrote an article about the critical reception of Ducks over at SOLRAD Magazine. As a footnote, I debated whether to get into the sexual violence in Ducks and decided (1) the article was already too long and (2) Beaton clearly did not want there to be a focus on the book’s most disturbing … Continue reading

In the spirit of the times, as a part of the digital zine fest, Quaranzine, I’m uploading the print file for … Continue reading
