A review by harvio
Winner of the National Book Award: A Novel of Fame, Honor, and Really Bad Weather by Jincy Willett

3.0

- I really wanted to like this novel because I loved Willett's only other book "Jenny And The Jaws Of Death", published back in 1987 (I gave it 5/5). That first book is one of my favourite collections of short stories. This novel, however, is stylistically choppy and awkward, but even before I realized this I took a (admittedly shallow) dislike to the protagonist's name - Dorcus.
