Insipid, tepid and vigorously lacking in originality, the Pucker Gallery's current exhibit of pastels by Mallory Lake, Italy Light and Shadow, is a fuzzy romantic nightmare, Hallmark style. These lifeless, flat and relentlessly maudlin landscapes do the impossible: resurrect the bourgeois landscape of the 19th century without even the slightest hint of irony.

"My close friends would say, 'The mad boy is coming' and hide their children so that his shadow would not come to their children." To appease her relatives, she dragged Umair to religious sites and forced him to drink "holy water." She fears that as Umair gets older, he will be taken to a pagal khana (mad house) where, she says, he would spend his days in a cage...
