Isle of the Dead by Gerhard Meier, Burton Pike

glet10's review against another edition

4.0

We all have that one friend who talks at you rather than to you, and poor Bindschälder (who happens to be the more interesting conversationalist of the two) cops the ear-bashing of a lifetime. Indeed, that he has not pushed the interminably loquacious Bauer into the Aare river by page 50 evidences remarkable restraint, and remains the enduring point of fascination in this novel.
