A review by mendelbot
The Letter Killers Club by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky

3.0

An intriguing little thought experiment that, thankfully, is not the only aspect of the book. The framing device - the philosophical idea of the weight of words, the importance, or unimportance of written ideas - is insubstantial and lacking any real momentum to make it at all interesting. The stories that are told by the characters, however, are quite enjoyable. The book has a "just dashed off" quality, and probably could have been a superior work if rewritten as something more than what it feels - a lark.
