...Table of Instructions” provided at the beginning of the book, which sends the reader “hopscotching” from one chapter to another based on the loosest of associations. Such “make your own adventure”-style plotting can come off as familiar??even gimmicky—now that the approach has been co-opted by a subset of experiment-driven postmodern writers. Yet it speaks to Cortázar’s larger ambition to introduce a little anarchy into our reverence to literary tradition and to words...

So it is up to the state legislature to stop the proposed amendment, for the sake of much more than Massachusetts’s gay community. Now that President Bush seems set on an amendment to the U.S. Constitution banning same-sex marriage, the legislature has the opportunity to set an important precedent for gay people across the nation—by rejecting the bigoted arguments of anti-gay activists...
