Thank you, Cincinnati!

The City Beat newspaper covers Cincinnati, the city in proximity to three different Eden-seeking stories in Paradise Lust: an obscure 19th century theory about the revolving of the north pole; the Serpent Mound; and the Creation Museum, which is actually in Kentucky, but you can drive there from the Cincinnati airport. Anyway, this ace reporter picked up on all three Ohio Edens, and had some very nice things to say especially about the latter: “her extensive consideration of the anti-evolution, science-denying Fundamentalism manifested at Northern Kentucky’s Creation Museum actually is quite sobering and troubling. While many people view the place as kitsch, she doesn’t. That museum is based on a literal reading of the Bible and its Book of Genesis.”
