The boys from “The Lord of the Flies” have nothing on Las Vegas author Helen O’Reilly’s female cast in her first novel for adults, “Spunk: A Fable,” featuring cover art by local artist Warren Wucinich. When the earth begins to tremble two buses packed with women and girls on their way to an abortion rally in Washington, D.C., are trapped in a forest on the outskirts of New York City. The survivors set up a society where men and boys who unwittingly find their way into the woods will never be welcome.

I’m disappointed that your column today seems to advocate long term use of anti-depressants. I am of the opinion that the multibillion dollar drug industry is chemically lobotomizing people. Ten years ago, I decided I must have depression and went to a psychiatrist who I ended up considering a glorified pill pusher. Over the course of a year and a half, I tried four or five of the leading anti-depressants. I hated them. They flattened out my emotional response to a point where I didn’t feel depressed or anxious — in fact, I felt nothing very deeply at all. I was not drinking or smoking, by the way. While I had short periods of “lift” from these drugs, I hate the feeling of being “not me.” While severely suicidal depressed individuals may benefit from short-term use of these chemicals, I was taken aback by your comparison of depression to diabetes and your call for people to accept it as a life sentence requiring drugs. Big Pharma is not our friend, Steven.
