"Aurora is a tremendous work. Aurora is what a literary work should be: fully human. It is also what used to be known as a major literary work because it's rare to its time. It represents a leading edge of consciousness, courage, and social need. A major work! That's why it must be buried, as we know. I'm glad I can be part of it. Aurora is written at a consistently intense, dynamic level. I wish it could be 500 pages and dropped like a sonic boom on all the acclaimed literary centers of the world and be released like a climatic change for the good in the rest of the world. Perhaps the most vital feature or effect of Aurora is that it expands consciousness, or perception. It thinks the unthinkable: the bankruptcy and worse of The Louvre, etc, the culture. It does what a lot of great works of art do: it criticizes art itself, explicitly and implicitly, and in doing so helps to make the needed room for itself, in the world of art and in the world in general. It creates and helps generate new thought, understanding, perception going forward. It helps not only express the full human condition; it helps transform it. It's a working work of art, a badly needed new experience. It enters the battle. It will be ignored, dismissed, and fought by the old world, while by the new world it will be part of another story entirely." - Tony Christini, author of Homefront
