jesabesblog 's review for:

The Topeka School by Ben Lerner

2.0

---

There were some hints of brilliance and pages I liked in this, but overall it was kind of a mess. Like many reviewers said, Jane's sections are by far the most successful. Most of it wasn't for me, though. It's a bunch of stream-of-consciousness musings from different characters, trying to say something as a whole about the central family and also America and...that's a lot.
