ULULU (Clown Shrapnel)
Reviews

John D'Agata:
"Thalia Field has never been more funny, more frightening, or more formally exhilarating. She has broken down a wall here: now some of us have got to walk through."

Shelley Jackson:
"In Thalia Field's spectacular live-action extravaganza, the novel finally reveals its true colors: motley. Follow that 'vain Fantastic Nymph,' the outrageous, dauntless Ululu, as she wisecracks through history, taking star turns in play and opera and film before pitching her tent on the page. This circus kit comes with music and jokes, greasepaint and blood. You do the tumbling."

Mac Wellman:
"Thalia Field's work toys with the better class of assumptions about genre, formal constraints, and what is and what is not literature. Whenever I come to her writing, I am drawn to the sheer architectural beauty of what she comes up with. I particularly like the monstrous scale of this new book. ULULU is a postmodern nest of snakes. It is also a bewildering and lunatic screenplay and is a highly articulated literary polyhedron."
