muddypuddle 's review for:
Generation Loss
by Elizabeth Hand
There were parts of this book that were hard from me to imagine....because there are a lot of references to photography and processing film, that sort of thing. The setting, in downeast Maine in winter, I can imagine. It's dreary, poor, bleak. The protagonist, Cassandra Neary, is one of the most unlikable characters I've come across. But that makes her incredibly interesting, actually. I'm guessing she's around 40, friendless, a kleptomaniac, hardly eats, survives on Jim Beam and speed. A real downer. This was quite a story, somewhat of a mystery, but more of a contemporary realistic fiction that skirts the edge of a really dark, somewhat bizarre (though real, unfortunately) world. (And I will go on to read another, because I liked it more than I didn't....)
