A review by megachick
The Pyramid by Ismail Kadare
2.0
I struggled with this book. I constantly felt that there was social commentary buried in the prose, but couldn't decipher exactly what it might be. The political history of Egypt?
Kadare began with very literal descriptions of the process of building a pyramid, and then veered off to a figurative path that I could not follow. Mainly I got a 'serious literature' vibe from this book and yet sometimes I felt like he was just one good turn of phrase away from Terry Pratchett territory.
