Her blend of politics and mysticism is absolutely delicious."a? Judy Grahn " The Adventures of Mona Pinsky is crowded with authentic and singular characters a? living and otherwise. I liked Uncle Gabe and the world of mythic spirits that fit so comfortably into Mona's everyday world. Mona is an especially engaging character who has carved out, with her heroic reluctance and naive flamboyance, a niche in my memory where she will always abide."a?M.K.
