Forest Dark by Nicole Krauss
2.0
A long winded, pretentious work about two people who spend time at the Hilton in Tel Aviv.
The book is slow, at best, and unorganized. The author draws *heavily* from Jonathan Safran Foer to create this grandiose mess of Kafka lore. The book is dry and boring without any real plot or point. It feels the sole purpose for the writing is for the author to hear herself talk and marvel at how she is the only one smart enough to understand Kafka.
As someone who has read and loved previous works by this author, I was extremely disappointed in this book.
Skip.
