This novel made me remember some very dear moments of my childhood.

I wake up inside William Bell to find myself reliving the dreams and adventures of my own childhood. All the fears and joys of life come alive in the hot Texas summer that feels your toes and soul with sand. SWC

Lovesong for the Giant Contessa is a beautifully scripted novel, set in a strange and wonderous place: Texas. This thought provoking work is sure to become a classic. I have read, even studied, many author's work. Few have compared in their ability to capture their reader's imagination like Steven Tye Culbert.

Culbert is an imaginative, innovative, descriptive writer. The book is full of vivid images that fill the readers mind. It was earthy, real, and wonderful all in one. I would recommend it.

In the spirit of the Beats, Culbert manages to pull off two great stories here, really remarkable prose and full of disturbing imagery that'll make you feel like you're ready to hit the road and meet some strange and interesting people. Check it out. Good stuff.

As a student of Dr. Steven Culberts', I studied Zen Buddhist influences on Japanese Corporate Culture. And in so doing, I learned the true meaning of Dr. Culberts' work--the beauty in nature, the predictable and baffling nature of humans. Dr. Culberts' books read like fine poetry and thoughtful philosophy tightly wrapped into the cacoon of humanity. Our deepest emotions and most unspoken desires are revealed in a disarming fashion. You would do well to read his work. Sincerely, James Giries
