It's hard for me to admit, but here
at Lies People Tell, we have to tell the truth: We don't hold
a candle to Web Del Sol -- perhaps
the finest literary web site out there. "The nature of
WDS is not to present a specific theme per issue, but simply to acquire
and frame the finest contemporary literary art available in America
and abroad, and to array it in such a manner that it speaks for itself.
You might say that Web Del Sol classifies as a grand experiment, a
literary event at once in a continuous state of birthing and crescendo,
always becoming--yet a bit of the ideal world too, for the
concept never changes, i.e., to discover, nurture, and webpublish
the finest in contemporary fiction, essays, and poetry."
And all dat ain't no lie!

This site actually scared me once. There was some link
that led me to this photograph of some beautiful women -- a famous model or actress or
something whose name I have forgotten. She was nice looking until a serpent's tongue
crawled out of her mouth and licked her eyeball. I can't seem to shake this
disturbing image but I shouldn't allow it to color my entire impression of what is an
excellent site that inquires into the nature of the human psyche and the cosmos.
