THE SURFACE OF FEMALES a.k.a. THE SINGLE CITADEL OF EVERY GIRL CALLED SASHA cures fiction and poetry together, a luminous pagan comedy grimoire in which the infamously magical and single bus stop court juggler, allegedly sexy Peter P.G. Glastonbury, is an enslaved obscured sage who does, even with kid and/or kids and affairs, including an affair with Satan's and/or Santa's girlfriend, find times anyways to play an unusually enchanted 'jester or exorcist' tennis in or on Berkeley, Moscow, Australasia, mostly on Berkeley and surrounds, squirrel clusters and big creepy sidekick narrator in tow, toga, towels, retyping Glastonbury's bloody wet notes as only he and a possessed log cabin keyboard can. Robert Gluck, Michelle Foucault's favorite writer some days, calls it his equal favorite thing in literature, "beyond criticism, at least by me ... The Congratulations Rats] and Gertrude Stein." Revered novelist Tantra Bensko calls it "important" and "passionately beautiful." One opposite of terrorism, The Congratulations Rats are (or is) a rippling, evolutionary Aphex Twin or Mozart of World English."
