Unclipped DJ shows mild soiling. "When did I know you were in the world? Distinct from all else and even so: of all the world? Did I know you first as a colorful thing, or had I heard you tumbling down a staircase and did I turn to see you fall, and then I would never forget you and I wanted to be near you and I touched you, my hands closed around you and I held you, our two skins were touching, a child and a lemon in their natural relation; I would have smelled you then, and probably would have put my tongue on your skin, you would have seemed big, like a melon to me now, maybe I even saw you then, saw you and then stopped seeing you, and now, years later." (from the jacket). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers C92014

Críticas:

"Krauser, who is a playwright, has interspersed scenes of Wendell and his lemon with elegant ruminations on the cultivation of lemons and descriptions of contemporary cubicle life. His prose is immaculate; his premise, patently ridiculous." - The New York Times "Lemon hits its stride, slipping into a sort of fantastic fiction that's so ruminative, so clever you can't help but go along for the ride." - Philadelphia Weekly "Lemon is sublime. It falls into place, patterns, and parts effortlessly." - Dartmouth Contemporary
