A review by luiscorrea
The Alligators of Abraham by Robert Kloss

4.0

The American Civil War as a biblical myth about mortality, national mania, and violence. Probably the closest a work of fiction could be to poetry without being called a "novel in verse." I don't think I totally grasped the semblance of a plot or its characters, but I was whisked away by the language and imagery. Fortunately, its compact package lends itself to a rereading.
