Reviews for Psychic Outlaws...
Mary Anna Pomonis
called the book "astonishing" on Artlurker.com.
Amazon.com reader/reviewer, Jesyca, writes, "This dreamy fictional narrative of
a woman suffering from chronic fatigue as she investigates
a surreal mental facility for women, is a unique reading
experience. Playing with language, tense and visual
themes, the writer creates a dreamscape for the reader
so deeply engaging that at times I had to shake my
own head to make sure I wasn't hallucinating along
with the protagonist. I found the story moving and
especially poignant in regards to how women process
emotion and memory. As a fan of magical realism, I
especially enjoyed the surreal references as they
painted a powerful picture of a mental institute where
women seek release from the stress of modern life
(part mental facility/part spa) and discover a world
of psychic revelation. I felt myself torn between
wanting to go there and desperately wanting the heroine
to escape. A terrific and unusual read, I recommend this book!"
Flavorpill.com editor, Shana Dambrot, wrote, "LA-based artist,
editor, and author Annie Buckley has optioned her
novel, Psychic Outlaws — but not for a screenplay,
for an ambitious group show starring about 20 of LA's
most recognized emerging artists."
Art writer Gabriel
Cifarelli, wrote: "While the novel operates
conceptually to question the limits of the Art Object,
it also works simply as a novel, and it happens to
be a very good novel at that."
Cifarelli goes on to write that, though experimental,
Psychic Outlaws is "quite engrossing".
