      The Dialogics remains an investigation that blazes with insight. Heller Levinson and Will Alexander condense dialogue to such a degree that its internal beacon dazzles with ideas. They spontaneously retain natural inevitability igniting idea after idea so that they seem to blur and then crystallize ad infinitum. This brief book of condensed insight seems always to conjoin with the reader not through didactic engendering but via lingual spell that is vertiginous by nature and so by its power of verbal irrigation leaves internal identity powerfully cleansed.
