Why this must be read:lamentables doesn't often write, but when she does, watch out! This beautiful piece came out of this past year's ds_match – with lamentables lending her formidable skills to Team Whimsy. We really could have used her on Team Reality.
Notes On The Impossibility Of Nirvana is a dense, thoughtful read, requiring multiple passes to fully comprehend the complex layering of want and need and desire, interlaced with humor and grief and the wackiness we come to expect from due South.
Fraser has a gift, a special ability, one that rules his life, scars him and holds him tight with its power over him. It could destroy him, but it doesn't.
Thought-provoking and subtle, this is one of the best stories I've ever read. It makes you ponder Fraser and the choices he's made...
“Oh, Fraser! No!” He caught a flash of red on yellow and swerved right. Yeah, there was Fraser, like some kind of Mountie octopus, spread-eagled on the back of the car while one of the nuns hammered at his fingers with a stuffed marmoset. At that speed it was really going to hurt if Fraser came off. On the other hand, it would take more than a piece of smuggled taxidermy to make the Mountie lose his grip.
