A review by omnibozo22
Asunder by Chloe Aridjis

3.0

This short, quiet novel proved to be less engaging than the reviews, for me. The symbolic, metaphoric elements screamed 'snap zoom,' and left little room for surprise. The few dramatic moments mostly disappointed in not exploring ample opportunities for greater mysteries. While it was interesting to read the historic aspects of the paintings in the story, the most interesting section of the book was in the "About the Author" section. Turns out, Aridjis has a Ph.D. in 19th French poetry and magic shows. Eh? I'll check on that.
