A review by ash1533
The Memory Artist by Katherine Brabon

slow-paced

3.5

This book is painfully slow paced and feels as if there is no driving force behind it, from characters or plot, rather a collection of random reflections that emerge without reason or plan. However, the reflections are beautiful and reveal challenging and powerful perspectives on history. The prose and philosophical questions raised by the book are wonderful, so are aspects of the stories it tells. I just wish it was a collection of short stories, or at the very least had a much lower word count. Still definetly worth the read despite the painful reading experience, I will be thinking about the content and the questions it raised for a long time.
