...billionaire talk, bovine-cloning monologues and the shrewd counsel of black elder sisters. In its easy virtuosity and wicked glee, Moo is rather like one of those comic novels in which John Updike gives himself a holiday from more draining work. And if Moo finally has more of a target than a point, it never allows us to forget that, in a certain context, no Smiley face is without its sadness...
Taking Andy Warhol as his most frequent target, Gaxiola launches pot shots, often witty ones, just as often literal, paint-ball ones, at the money grubbing art world.

David Hope, the bishop of London, last month disclosed he had come under pressure from Outrage!, a group that encourages homosexuals to publicly declare their sexual orientation.
