...criminal chameleon who stalks Asia in search of unsuspecting tourists, is the product of such a wedding. Thompson, best known for Blood and Money--a searching dissection of the bizarre sequence of Hill murders in Houston-does two things very well. He picks great subjects. You keep having to remind yourself that Serpentine is, after all, non-fiction. In fact, after reading a couple of Thompson's quasi-novels, one might accuse him of choosing topics that any garden-variety journalist could fish a bestseller out of. Grisly, morbid, sick, perverse, psychotic--all this, and true...

"Then, Jesus looked at him with...

...there is a need for this sort of Ring. If only to remind audiences that Wagner need not sink from the weight of his pomposity, that there can be levity as well as profundity in these mythological epics, Sellars has performed a valuable service. Most modern Rings either slavishly follow Wagner's "intentions"--as though he knew what they were himself--or unmoor themselves entirely from his ideas and drift into meaninglessness.
