...murder or sudden violence, without rape or incest or (nearly always) adultery, Without man or woman being broken by the isolation and the struggle of survival. The most deeply troubling and perhaps the best of the stories in the new collection, "People in Hell Just Want a Drink of Water," tells of the way a family of cow-boy brothers viciously castrate a severely crippled man: Proulx comments, "Only earth and sky matter.

But that's food for another column...
...cloyingly cute critters whose primary form of battle is a glorified version of rock, paper, scissors. There are no guns, no blood--no one even dies. Players choose a starter Pokemon (short for pocket monster), then nurture and train it to battle other monsters using such "weapons" as water, fire and electricity.
