SUFFERING

"THE SOLOIST"—FLAWED GENIUS, FLAWED FILM: A

"We feel Lopez’ disorientation and fear as he seeks out Nathaniel’s
overnight habitat, on streets where crack addicts suck on pipes and
couples huddle against chain link fences."
Books, Faith,
World & More
LIFTING THE FOG: A REVIEW OF MENNONITE WOMEN IN CANADA

"When we stop to think of it, we realize this society has been
patriarchal."
