jaclyncrupi 's review for:
A Calling for Charlie Barnes
by Joshua Ferris
I have such a conflicted relationship with Joshua Ferris. I either love his work or I hate it. He’s so meta and clever and funny and sometimes it’s genius and sometimes it’s exhausting. What I loved about this was how much it expected of me. The only way I was going to untangle this portrait of Charlie Barnes was if I paid close attention and accepted his wild tangents and flights of fancy. Not many writers can pull this off. I would never recommend this book to someone who wasn’t familiar with Ferris but I love that he’s writing this stuff.
