To suggest these works well or even moderately well written is to confuse the issues we have judged to be important in good writing. Burkowski has an obvious gift for crafting fine sentences, and to construct tales directly from life experience or perceived life experience is a beautiful thing, but not to spend even a moment making any sense of or trying to understand these experiences proves a true lack of insight. Semi-literate six year olds, lost in a chaotic twirl of inchoate thoughts and ramblings are capable of the same. All of this is not even to mention the trite, ridiculous heart that palps pitifully within each of these ill-considered works. Literature is more than this! For those who believe there is genuine meaning in organized human expression for the sake of communication, please do not be midlead by these silly stories.
