A review by missie_bee
Chatterton by Peter Ackroyd
3.0
I'll admit, I liked this book better after class discussion.
Am I that obtuse about the makings of good literature? Do you even have to ask?
Does metafiction know a better dealer of its genre than Ackroyd? I'd be hard pressed to think otherwise, though I'm still exploring the genre. His characters were more caricature than I cared for, but the hidden literary references were gold mines of farce filled fun.
