Book Alert
Go Ask Ogre
Jolene Siana
Process Media
"A happy ending to life's dark chapter. Jolene Siana's 'Go Ask Ogre' documents a time when she mutilated herself. She hopes the book can help others.
"Siana’s book is a collection of letters -- some with her blood -- she wrote to Nivek Ogre of the band Skinny Puppy in the late '80s.
"Between 1987 and 1989, Siana wrote Ogre hundreds of pages of letters, but she never expected them back. When she saw Ogre at subsequent Skinny Puppy shows over the years, "He always told me that he still had my letters, but I didn't think that he would hold on to them," Siana said.
"He had. Three years ago, he sent them back to her in a single box. Looking through them, she said, 'was sort of a sense of closing a chapter on my life and dealing with it and being OK with the dark things that happened.'" ¶ 7/26/2005 06:22:00 AM
