Perhaps: "Mullets: A Post-Modern Deconstruction of the Heuristics of Hair."<BR/><BR/>I've actually read Henry's book, and I can attest to its high quality and enjoyability. It totally occupied me on a cross-country plane trip. I could launch into a review. But I won't, because I am lazy. I liked it.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071274270321190889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020282.post-1113629570200176192005-04-15T22:32:00.000-07:002005-04-15T22:32:00.000-07:00Hey, although that review was very difficult to re...Hey, although that review was very difficult to read (and not just because of the small print!), they gave a pretty decent plot encapsulation.

Also, it's a novel by Theodore Dreiser. He was a social critic so I guess that's all she was getting at.Henry Baumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222144871856444411noreply@blogger.com
