with the previous reviewer. This book is indeed a modern classic. I would put it beside works of John Fante and Charles Bukowski within the category of "confessional fiction." It is ironic, or something, that the other Victoria Alexander, who churns out romances with hokey covers and titles like "The Perfect Wife," rakes in the fans, and cash, while this great modern writer, who still has not peaked, wallows (or maybe frolics) in literary obscurity.

brilliant and blind

Naked Singularity is brilliant, a true classic, and a work of art. The most interesting aspect is the protagonist's complete blindness to her subconscious drive, revenge on the male figure and the whole family, as well as her super intellectual façade which barely veils an absolute weakness and desperate need to be liked and loved.
