A review by walruz
The River Why by David James Duncan

3.0

It would seem I'm one of the few ambivalent reviewers of this book. It is uneven: at times tedious, and at other times fantastic (in many senses of the word). The opening 100 pages herald the coming of "The Brothers K," which I read before this and which is no doubt a much more coherent piece of fiction. The spiritual quest is muddied, but compelling. The ending, however, is just plain silly.
