A review by cnidariar3x
Snow White by Donald Barthelme
challenging
funny
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.0
Took a lot of effort to mine anything of value from my two read-throughs.
Not unenjoyable, but a little too experimental, fragmented, and dated for me.
I haven't read any of the authors' short stories, but it feels appropriate that folks swear his shorter works are better.
Some interesting thematic and character trope subversions going on, but not enough to really recommend it. Unless highly active reading is your jam.
A lot of what-the-f*ck going on in this book.
