"Book Review of In Xanadu -- Val Jubere's New York Journal, in Prose and Poetry. Author Frank Beaumier." The Journal of Val Ere Jubere is written in avant garde prose and poetry of hitherito undocumented style. A great literature work. The cliche is true; read this to believe it. If you love poetic rhyme and un-metered rhythm, this is the Realism Classic book for you. Jubere is no sailor-fish out of water. He breathes and talks rapping street slang. Philosophy and Life's ways expanded in provocative narrative and dialogue. Before William Hung, there was Jubere, singing and dancing his way into a Hollywood agent's card. An intriguing murder story is related in free rhythm. Many erotic stories vividly illuminated. Clandestine wheeling and dealing needling. The dingy contest is pleasing eye candy for any goose. Sadomasochistic sex confessions directly from the bush, raw yet tastefully reconstructed sans censorship surgery are picturesque works of Jubere. Every theorem... More > under the sky, brought down to earth in wonderfully understandable narratives by characters. Humans' fallacies and desperate measures are itemized as treasured gems. The mundane piss free fall is artistically lampooned as sport. Jubere's adventures in Big Apple, epitomizes every small apple's struggles for survival in tough metropolitan cities where money talks big and big money talks bigger. Favorable positions of pleasurable coitus, methodically dissected like instructional manuals, another notch under Jubere's prowess, ethereal euphoria's sinful fantasies perused. Social responsibilities are expounded in satires of superstitious remedies of self-medicated bogus douche for miscarriage. Doubtful hopes of returned karma; negative reinforcements of Gautama Buddha, ascetically debated with Homer's bland philosophies. This travelogue tours kaleidoscopic spectrums of society's flourishing sores. Samaritans, sycophants, sadomasochists, sympathizers beware, redemption is preached by Nostradamus, when whites reborn in resurrection. This three-volume work establishes Beaumier as a premier modern satirist. Herein lies my epitaph: I'm proud to have read inXanadu. Reviewer: Benjamin Francis. (Ann And Benjamin)< Less
