A review by oldmansimms
Central Station by Lavie Tidhar

3.0

The world Tidhar has created here is fascinating, but the story -- fragmentary, lacking any real through line -- doesn't hold up its end of the bargain. I don't recall seeing this book described as a mosaic novel or short story collection anywhere, but it came as no surprise to see a page at the end listing the publications in which different chapters originally appeared in short story form. Wish I'd known that going in.

(The title also meant that it had the shadow of Perdido Street Station constantly looming over it, which did it no favors.)
