...from his own novels, an armchair liberal's criticism of the dehumanizing influence of modern science and the free market, insinuations that the Nobel Prize is really not such a big deal and a conclusion that portrays literature as a heroic struggle for the future of the human race. None of this is very original, and in this case it does not gel together very well.

The bubbles themselves look like knots tied on a rope, but condensed, without any space between them. Covering the entire surface of a canvas, they begin to look organic, slimy, alive; indeed, they look like cells. The use of transparent color to isolate certain groups of cells relates directly to AIDS; the identification of certain vessels indicates foreigners, intruders within...
