I chose this author after hearing him mentioned several times despite the fact that I do not read much fiction. It was interesting, articulate to the point of verbose in some details, and kept my attention from beginning to the end. I enjoyed the matter of fact way that trysts were described and the way San Francisco and San Narciso sort of swirled around me while I was ensconced in the novel. The ending was an almost inevitable trail leading back to the beginning. Will share with friends.

narcissia's review against another edition

A friend recommended this book to me. It is well written. I understand what it is trying to do. That being said, I found that I was having to force myself to pick it up and read just to finish it. The book felt like it was a lot longer than it really is, because I just wasn't enjoying it. At all.

Jau lasot V. bija skaidrs, ka darīšana ar ģēniju, bet šeit ir jau nākamais līmenis. Pinčons pagaidām vairāk nekā jebkurš cits autors liek man justies kā profānam lasītājam.
