misterjay 's review for:

Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart
5.0

There is so much delight and joy in this novel. Hughart writes with a deft, clever style that leaves the reader breathless and racing to turn the pages only to come across a moving bit of poetry or a wry observation about the human condition. Reading this makes me wish he had written more than three novels; reading this makes me glad Subterranean has resurrected the stories because they deserve to be read by everyone over and over again.
