Note

I just subscribed to Iceland Review. I am supposed to get a book on puffins, plus an issue devoted to the volcano. Puffins and a volcano. What could be better?

P.K. Dick was right in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? As we become more remote from nature, as animals become more rare, we become obsessed with them. I notice that the things I buy -- jewelry and objets d'art -- are almost always animals. This was not true when I was younger and nature was less endangered.
