Strange Toys Discussion

"Like Steppenwolf and The Magus, Pat Geary's haunting novel, Strange Toys, draws the reader between the world of magic and reality with finesse and dexterity. There is something for everybody from body-building to jitterbug perfume, precocious children to discussions of modernist literary theory. This book beguiled me, and made me wish entirely that I lived in Pat Geary's imagination." - Diane Wakoski (from book jacket)

"Only Patricia Geary can describe a voodoo ceremony and shopping for the perfect dress with equal grace and ease. The enormous pleasure of reading this novel can be compared to eating a perfect and exotic meal­it is surprising, piquant, luscious, colorful. Ms. Geary is a master chef of the written word." - Roberta Smoodin (from book jacket)
