adamlauver 's review for:
The MANIAC
by BenjamÃn Labatut
Provocative and gripping
Never thought I'd be unable to put down a book about numbers, but here we are. Labatut weaves together the mathematical, the mechanical, and the humane to awe-inspiring (and often discomfiting) effect. I was also impressed with the different voices and styles of prose he developed for the numerous narrators over the course of the book. Just excellent.
