The Fisher King: A Novel by Paule Marshall

2.0

Reading this book is standing on the edge of something beautiful but never being fully immersed in that experience. It is a bunch of snapshots tossed into the air landing helter skelter with no defined beginning or end. The characters are lively and interesting but so remote it is impossible to really understand why they do the things they do. The main story lines take place in Paris and Brooklyn and yet atmosphere isn't a significant part of the story.
