A Convergence of Birds: Original Fiction and Poetry Inspired by Joseph Cornell by Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Coover, Jonathan Safran Foer

hannahilea's review against another edition

1.0

The writings didn't hold my attention at all (and I skipped most of it, after reading the first page of each different author). Mostly disappointing because I love Jonathan Safran Foer's stuff so much, and thought this would be more of the same --I didn't realize until I got it today that he was merely the editor rather than The Author.

i love concept books! j. s. foer brought this book of short stories and poems t/g - all inspired/centered around joseph cornell's collages/boxes. do i love every piece in it - nope, but i like that these stories make me think from a different angle and are not linear.
