A review by stanl
Grimus by Salman Rushdie

3.0

I found this to be an artistic pleasure, though not a great story. I was not immediately drawn into this story, and there were intervals in reading times before I finished it. What drew me, however, was a sense of narrative coherence: my experience was of a whole, even though my reading was interrupted and broken into pieces. Although there was an abundance of words, not one seemed wasted, and this seemed a disciplined accomplishment in a work that does not exhibit a streamlined style. I shall look forward to moving on through Mr. Rushdie's oeuvre.
