Product Description
Through objects, images, and texts, Jason Dodge skillfully combines the fictive and the real, inviting us into a world of interrupted and elusive narratives. In each of his carefully executed installations, a distant locale or notable event is evoked along with characters both real and imagined. Each work seems to suggest a larger enigmatic story, leading ultimately to a narrative of our invention, sparked by Dodge's compelling objects.
Jason Dodge's exhibition is a companion to a recent installation at the Villa Arson in Nice, France. On the occasion of these two installations, the Orange County Museum of Art published this catalogue in collaboration with Villa Arson, available in September 2005. Jason Dodge was born in 1969 in Newton, Pennsylvania, and currently lives in Berlin, Germany.
As seen at the Orange County Museum of Art June 4, 2005 through September 25, 2005. ... Read more

In 2002, our Nation was unsure of its future, panicked by its recent past, and struggling to come to terms with a mounting war and the ever-changing colors of terror. Through it all two poets in a newfound friendship felt it necessary to stop the chaos and share their thoughts, views, struggles, fears, frustrations, and daily triumphs with each other. Sometimes scathing and brash, sometimes vulnerable, sometimes self-assured, the conversational threads have been woven into a constant, furious tapestry covering the landscape of the American South, the desert Southwest and all the way to the cold mountains of Switzerland. These letters represent a refusal to submit and a wild shout to the heavens that art can still matter. ... Read more

a book of letters for a new generation
Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon continues the long tradition of publishing the letters of writers. What makes this book unique is that it's letters written between two modern poets who had never met one another, who merely shared a common vision of what poetry should be.
There is plenty of poetic writing (and actual poetry) in the pages of this book, but it's not just about poetry. It's about politics and music and art and everything else that makes life worth living. It's about an aesthetic two unknown writers shared at the turn of the century, captured in language that sings and aches and often makes you want to stand up and yell HELL YES!

Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon feels almost like the transcripts to an eavesdropped conversation. You feel a part of something grand, something slightly conspiratorial, something fascinating and exhilarating and powerful. Hosho and Chris are wonderful writers aside from these letters, but (as letters are meant to do) they invite you into their lives and their minds in a way that makes you feel good.

Letter writing is a lost art, what with email and text messages. But, the well-crafted letter will always be something worth reading. Hosho and Chris have joined the other men of letters with this collection. ... Read more

Uh.................these books actually sell?!?
I've always heard of Danielle Steel but never read any of her work. Then a box of books was given to me by a neighbor and in it was Malice, so I started to read. I was honestly stunned - the writing was absolutely the worst I've ever seen! I wanted to get out my editing pencil and correct the horrible grammar, the fragmented and poorly-worded sentences, and cross out the numerous repeat sentences. The story-line was nauseating and the ending completely predictable. It was like a glorified Harlequin romance, but not as well written as a Harlequin. I've seen better writing from middle school students, and I'm not even exaggerating. It's baffling that Danielle Steel makes money on her books. But as a friend in my book club said, "there's a lot of simple-minded people in this world and there's got to be books out there for them too." I guess that's as good an explanation as any for how Danielle Steel books actually sell.

Most Real.
I agree with all of these reviews, this book is one of the best books i have read, when i put the book down one night i couldn't get it out of my mind.i had to pick it up and keep reading.I was actually shocked to see the book being only $7.99.All i can say is this is a GREAT CHOICE! MUCH KUDOS to Danielle Steel.

One of Danielle Steel's Best Novels
'Malice' is the kind of writing that Danielle Steel does best - strong and flawed heroines dealing with serious personal life issues.This book is very emotionally heavy and involving for the reader, and is not a romance novel, so fans of Steel should be forewarned that this novel isn't her standard fare.The character of Grace Adams is well-written and many readers should find much to like about 'Malice.'

wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BOOK IS A REAL PAGE TURNER.IF YOU ENJOY DANIELLE, YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!

Good, but just like all the other Danielle Steel books
This book is just like every Danielle Steel book you've ever read.The plot goes something like this:girl in trouble, get's out of trouble herself, finds man, the end.There isn't much that's original to this book, and I kind of think that Danielle Steel writes her book in 'Mad Libs' style.She just changes the names of the characters, changes their occupations, and the color of the book, and wham... A new hardcover to sell for tons of money.I wouldn't recommend purchasing this book, unless you want to waste a mindless afternoon with brain candy. ... Read more
