Greg Gerke reviewed
Critique of Pure Reason for the
Review of Contemporary Fiction, Vol. XXXIII, No. 2, "Translations in Progress": "[
Critique of Pure Reason is] an irreverent panoply . . . brimming with mysteries, riddles, and games, both as narrative function and theme. . . . Is Blackwell a satirist, an escapist, a nihilist? He's a poet-critic, folding his philosophy into triumphant malapropisms."
