Rebel Without A Clause? Review of 'Rimbaud in Java'

Long before Rambo, there was Rimbaud.In fact, the poet Arthur Rimbaud can be seen as a kind of anti-Rambo: a literary child prodigy, army deserter, and blue-eyed French fop.Consider "Bad Blood": A Season in Hell.It sounds like an appropriate title for a Sly Stallone action movie sequel, but the punchy phrases are taken…See More

Bio
McGirk's an expat Californian blogger and cyberpundit with an odd beat that alternates the Left Coast with the Middle East. Commuting from La la Land to the Holy Land keeps her on her toes. Politics and religion fascinate her, along with pop culture. She was a foreign correspondent for the British press for a decade, covering Latin America, South East Asia, and the Indian sub-Continent. Lately she has been freelancing from a base in Jerusalem. (Her desk's beneath a ceiling fan and overlooks the Jaws of Hell--the Hinom Valley, aka Gehanna.)
