A review by thebookofbanana
Solenoid by Mircea Cărtărescu

Did not finish book. Stopped at 37%.

I am dropping Solenoid for the second time. I reached just under half way.  I really like the weird, fantastical, freakish imagery Cartarescu uses and I think his hallucinatory view of his world is cool, but he spends so much time talking about his childhood or some other thing that happened at the school that it feels like the book is not progressing in any real way and it's become too much of a slog for me
