Necessary Errors by Caleb Crain

3.0

Crain creates an intriguing world with intriguing characters. However, I rarely found them to be all that compelling. I enjoyed certain aspects of the main character's journey but I found his internal dialogue to be obnoxious in a way that was not necessarily foiled by any other characters. I enjoyed being back in Prague, after studying there in 2013, and I think that Crain does the 1991 post-revolutionary city justice. I think I found the premise about ex-pats making it in this new wild-ish city to be boring and not particularly interesting. I would have loved this as a collection of related short stories.
