In the introduction, Robert Buckeye writes, "Gallo works in the mental health system and sees the hospital, not just as a metaphor, but as an absolute reality that governs our lives...If we note that Gallo's work incorporates text, we must also understand that in his art text is a context that in itself alters picture, or what a picture might be.

C's opinions in the essays are mostly on the left (he despises Bush, Blair & Co., and is opposed to the Iraq War) and they bore Anya, who wants something less lofty. Meanwhile, Anya's lover, Alan"”a smart, conservative 42-year-old investment consultant who's good in the sack, and who stands for everything C despises"”becomes increasingly...
