...whole place is weird anyway. For instance, a reservoir created by a dam has been drying out, revealing a once-sunken village. Swain shows us the fish that have formed a churning mass, forced ever closer by the waning pool. The mystery of Ross - whether he's turned feral by choice or by circumstance or ill luck - remains unanswered. The reasons don't matter. For Swain the mystery of the world is what makes it interesting. You have to give in to her ambiguities and learn to enjoy the atmosphere of quiet uncertainty...
...small, anxious-looking man who stood before a judge last week in London's Central Criminal Court hardly resembled the feral terrorist British police are linking him to.

It's all there in A young Brooklyn family going for a Sunday outing, N.Y.C., a couple with their attempted aplomb undone, even though they don't know it, by the wild and lyrical distraction in the face of their little...
...Valez works the punching bag near the door. Each time he hits it, the bag swings violently from its chain. As Valez takes a break, the feral look fades from his eyes. As if to try to explain the fiery gaze, he says, “I picture a lot of people I don’t like,” he says. “When I’m having kind of a shitty week, it’s therapeutic as hell...
