I was recently reading your latest issue when I came across a review of a book called "The Deaf Mute Boy" by Joseph Geraci. (Published by) Terrace books. Though I have not read the book I am concerned about the premise of it based on your review. I am not gay but I do support gay rights. I support Gay marriage. I do not support pedophilia which this book appears to exhibit. Though some would support the right to publish this book based on the acclaim of "Lolita" I ask you where is the line? When is OK to delve into this type of relationship no matter what the sexual orientation? NAMBLA be damned.
Best Regards,
Neal Combs
Book review borders on pedophilia
