Robert Tilendis
Robert M. Tilendis is an artist and writer living in Chicago and traveling the world by means of the Internet. He is a reviewer of just about anything that can be reviewed, but focuses mainly on books, music, and art. He is grossly overeducated, and somehow manages to find more to learn. He spends entirely too much time thinking. He is very happy at this point to have found a job that stays put when he leaves for the day.
His online presence is multivalent. His photographs and bibliographies (alas, sadly in need of an update) are at a/k/a Hunter, his political and social commentary at Hunter at Random, and his online journal at Booklag. His reviews of books, music, and the occasional frying pan can be found at Green Man Review, Epinions, and Rambles. He can be reached via e-mail.

Nakamura and Chiaki Kon a review This series has become one of my mainstays, for those times when I want to relax and laugh a little. "BL fluff" with some pretty engaging people. |

One Loves Me, by Yugi Yamada This recent title in English from an acknowledged master of BL manga is a stellar example of the way in which a gifted artist can portray character and relationships subtly and effectively in a comic. |
