Smith's narrative is like Adam's diagram: all the pieces seem to fit, but we never feel the animating emotion behind it. We know Alex is driven by unresolved grief and anger, but we don't feel it except at aremove, as when the inebriated hero scrawls out sardonic responses on a hotel feedback form. ("How did you find your sleeping arrangements? Lonely.") We know that Alex's search for Kitty is a spiritual quest because the titles of that section are taken from the Zen parable "Ten Bulls."

...only biblical figure who enjoys the unanimous acclaim of all three faiths, the only one (as the song in the cab suggested) referred to by all three as Father. In theory, this remarkable consensus should make him an interfaith superstar, a special resource in these times of anger and mistrust. And since last September, interfaith activists have been scheduling Abraham lectures, Abraham speeches and even "Abraham salons" around the country and overseas.

Lest the poster prostitute itself as mere “infotainment,” however, it carefully undermines conventional forms, eschewing capital...
...Sundance favorite Smoke Signals, returns with another fearless survey of the afflictions of Native American reservation life: poverty, alcoholism and inadequate education. Lakota police officer Rudy Yellow Lodge and his self-destructive Vietnam vet brother Mogie, raised with Mount Rushmore looming above them, deal with their history and their anger at one another. Having created tragicomedy that is unstintingly political, Eyre put his money where his mouth was—this past month, his “Rolling Rez” tour took a mobile theater and screened the film free of charge at Indian reservations around the country...
