A review by neeuqdrazil
Pastoral by André Alexis
3.0
This is very much what it says on the tin - a pastoral novel, in multiple senses of the word.
It's structured based on Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony. It's pastoral (having to do with the country) literature. And it's about a priest, and his pastoral (caring for his parish) duties.
It was delightful, and difficult, and the characters were not really big full of life characters, but sketches, used to make points. And that's exactly what their purposes in the novel is.
