cameronius 's review for:

3.0

Parts of this story resonated deeply with me, but I concluded with mixed feelings. The author is a deft craftsman - there is no lacking in his mastery of language. But as with other Joyce novels I found his method sometimes overwhelming, as he uncovers the internal world of his characters in impressionistic sketches signifying depths never to be revealed. Nonetheless: a hallmark of modernist literature and a worthy read.
