	ReadingGroupGuides.com - Geek Love by Katherine Dunn
		Having created such a cast of characters, Dunn explores the strange dynamics both within the family and between the "freaks" who perform in Binewski’s Fabulon and the "norms" who come to watch them.
		Indeed, in one of the novel’s stunning reversals, the audience and the performers cross the boundaries that appear to separate them as Arturo convinces normal people that the way to true happiness is to "liberate" themselves from the straitjacket of their ordinariness by "shedding" their limbs.
		When Chick is born, the family is ashamed and wants to get rid of him because he appears to be normal; Olympia speaks of escaping childhood knowledge into the innocence of adulthood; and eventually people who come to Arty’s shows pay to have their limbs amputated so they can feel whole again.

	Backtalk
		What is terrible about wife abuse isn't just the number, or even the ferocity, of assaults; what is most terrible is that the battered wife lives in a chronic state of fear and intimidation, haunted by a husband who treats her as his personal property.
		Washington, D.C. Katherine Dunn's article on women and aggression threatens to perpetuate the myth that women commit as much serious violence against their husbands as husbands do against their wives.
		Katherine Dunn's provocative essay should open a long-overdue dialogue among feminists on the gender dynamics of violence and end the taboo on acknowledging that if women are as good as men, they can also be as bad.

		Katherine Dunn's "Geek Love" is a literary freak show -- a fascinating and shocking novel that is difficult to turn away from.
		Dunn's uncanny ability to provide insights into the most shocking characters prevents anybody in the book from being completely evil.
		Even Arturo, the villain of the novel, is understandable in his extreme desire to be the most popular freak in the family, and sympathetic in his fear of being fully dependent on others to survive.

		Like morning mist shot through with sunlight, Katherine Dunn's glowing paintings shroud and reveal, showing a tree here, a horse there, a scrambled roofline, a horizon draped in fog.
		Though each painting has personal meaning, Katherine says those meanings unfold over time, sometimes long after she's put down her brush.

		Author Katherine Dunn -- never one to be caught up in the movements of the masses -- snakes her way out of the crowd and over to a cluster of plastic benches.
		Clearly attracted to what you might call edgy material, Dunn was predictably primed for a movie like Minority Report, with its philosophically rich depictions of mutant detec-tives, Future Crime departments, icky eye-swapping surgeries, and vast Detainment Units packed with electronically lobotomized prisoners.
		An event that would certainly leave Dunn's devoted readers and fans up to their ankles in dribbling snot.

	_Geek Love_ by Katherine Dunn. - @forums
		One of the things I loved about the book, which added depth to it, was that Dunn did not resort to a simplistic fl and white "goodguys vs. badguys" kind of characterization.
		Well, it [the novel] arose out of two long-term concerns: the first being the possibility of genetic manipulation, nature versus nurture, what constitutes how people get to be how they are.
		Even though we were dealing technically with "freaks" Dunn did a very good job of making them rounded out complex human characters.

		To be that caught up in a story is a rare feat, and yet Dunn does it so effortlessly that it belies the incredible talent that goes behind it.
		Through a family of 'freaks' Dunn eloquently explores a wide array of themes and leaves the reader with much to consider.

		My main complaint: as this novel bounced back and forth between two sections (Binewski carnival and post-Binewski carnival) I became so immersed in the section I was reading I never wanted to leave it.
		However, Dunn always drug me out and I quickly became as attached to the new section as I was to the prior.
		Obviously this is not a true complaint and merely underscores that Dunn is an excellent writer, capable of making her flashbacks as compelling as her presents.

		Katherine Dunn to literature is like John Waters is to film.
		I thought the story was very well written and provocative in that it caused me to think about how we distinguish between what is "normal" and what is "freaky".
		They suffer to exactly that degree that they are unable to appear normal to others, or to convince themselves that their aberration does not exist.

		It really does explore the nature of human relationships - of love, of family, and of societies non-acceptance of anything not of the 'norm'.
		Katherine Dunn really has written a powerful account of what it is to love somebody/something and never really be loved in return.
		And although the book is centered around 'geeks' it tells a story of human emotion that everyone - even perfect looking humans can relate too.
