loloyohe 's review for:
Creation Lake
by Rachel Kushner
I am, admittedly, way too much of a pleb for this book, but I respected it for the most part. Many Booker Prize nominees are just garbled intellectual garbage, but you can tell Kushner is mastering the craft of somewhat wandering somewhat plotless but intriguing narrative structure.
I was into the book in the beginning, kind of had no idea what was happening in the middle, but came around at the end. I think it would have kept it together a bit more if the group Sadie was undercover for had more of a dramatic or compelling cause...it did feel rather French so maybe I just couldn't connect with it, but overall I didn't hate the book as a whole, though I couldn't possibly imagine the kind of person or situation I'd be in where I would recommend this book. Nonetheless, I may even take another stab at a Kushner. It was a fun challenge in the end.
