Rising Up and Rising Down

One of my belated Christmas presents to myself was William T. Vollman's seven-volume study on the ethics of violence, Rising Up and Rising Down. It sounds intimidating, but it's been an engrossing read so far (almost all the way through Vol. 1). I doubt I'll read through the whole thing first volume to last, which is fine as the set is broken into sections that can stand alone.

If you're interested, this review describes Vollman's work better than I can. I'll probably have something more to say about this "book" later.
