From Library Journal
In A Chorus of Stones , Griffin departs from her usual radical feminist analysis of issues as presented in Woman and Nature: The Roaring Inside Her ( LJ 2/1/79) and Pornography and Silence ( LJ 5/15/81) as well as numerous works of fiction. Here, Griffin provides a psychology of war and violence, examining in particular how the denial and secrecy surrounding these events affects personal lives. As examples, she explores the lives of the families of workers on the Los Alamos project and at Oak Ridge, the background and psyche of Heinrich Himmler, the life of a British soldier in the Boer War and World War I, and Gandhi's resistance to violence and oppression. These are interwoven with autobiographical narrative that illustrate the effects of family denial and secrecy. Griffin's deep stream-of-consciousness style will not appeal to a wide variety of readers, but this is an important book for academic and large public libraries.
