Review of Dimitris Lyacos' WITH THE PEOPLE FROM THE BRIDGE

Lyacos' text is one that seems written to simultaneously challenge literary critics, be within reach of most readers, and tell a story that comes across as vital to the author personally -- both intellectually and spiritually.(...)To his credit, there is a sense that these motifs are held terrifically taut, pushing our collective unconscious into a modernist realm of humanistic questioning and incertitude while we rely on the subliminal understanding that dwells deep within us.
