Victor David Sandiego's The strange and beautiful life of Daniel
Raskovich, an imagined biography of an odd everyman character, is
darkly funny and strangely poignant. Sandiego offers a frank take
on contemporary society with verse that is clean, clear and direct,
and tantalizing enough to keep us wanting more. Episode after
bizarre episode leaves the reader feeling off-balance, hopping on
one leg (the good one) like Daniel, but perhaps this is the precise
vantage one needs to view our lives more candidly. The starkly
lovely, sometimes mysterious, graphical images throughout from
photographer Ethan Hahn provide visual texture and figurative
subtext to the Raskovich tale. As alarming or reassuring as it may
seem, Sandiego's collection reveals that there is a little bit or
quite a lot of Daniel in every one of us. -Lana Hechtman Ayers,
