Tainted by the Same Counterfeit

<p>Candice Louisa Daquin's collection is a mis-en-scene of beautiful dysfunction erotic melancholy and an immigrant's dystopia. As a lesbian ageing in-sight Daquin's wry observations of life are at times piercing painful and intensely telling a to human-nature and our endless foibles. Her occupations as writer psychotherapist and activist play against a myriad of backdrops from Southern France Egypt and the wastelands of America. Daquin's co-editing work on two award-winning anthologies lends her the gravitas to produce a fine book of revelations about who we really are and why we're so often tainted by the same counterfeit.</p>
