Chris Nelson (Christopher Richard in full), has once again branched out from his old, non-fiction haunts, into his new found love for fiction get-aways, this being his first foray into anthology writing, a cabal of a compilation of stories in what he has dubbed the modern fairy tale genre (a la mode). Why, a la mode? No! Not meaning that ice cream and apple pie are served with each reading, although that might not be a bad idea at all! While not satisfying any craving for food to feed the body, it serves up another kind of dish known as a very good taste for stylish fashion ladies, which equally satisfies a craving of the mind/not body, for the mind is where resides our libidos, and a basic libidinal craving is for stimulation of the sense of sight (shininess), touch (soft and supple), and hearing (rustling and knister-ing and knaster-ing), By now you might have guessed the mystery - there is nothing quite like "demonstrating very good taste in the leather-sensual genre of poems", which is what this book is all about with its flowing style, sensual, essay-poems. But Ms. Grace's setting a great good "shining example" goes beyond wearing her one and only prize possession little leather wrap around coat, it extends to her demonstrating a very good character. The first and foremost trait of a good female character, I would suggest is "grace", in that she is big hearted and generous, not just to some, but all who cross her path. In other words, she exhibits the highest qualities of a true Christian woman. Add Sensual + Grace, and what do you get: why, Ms. Grace Leathers of course. What's in a name? Maybe something, maybe nothing, but in Ms. Grace Leathers case, it gets to the essence/heart of the matter in a matter of no more than two words! How is that for conciseness and avoidance of verbal diarrhea? Not too bad at all, if I do say so myself!
