A review by scheu
Our Ecstatic Days by Steve Erickson
2.0
I figured out why I struggled to finish this book over and over despite loving, or at least really enjoying, all of Erickson's other novels.
I just didn't like it.
It felt like "too much". Just too clever. I had a similar reaction to Danielewski's Only Revolutions - maybe I just dislike goofing around with structure. (and yet The Raw Shark Texts was great!)
I don't have to worry about being an Erickson completist now, or a slavish fan. Kind of a relief.
