A review by open_far
Asymmetry by Lisa Halliday
2.0
A young aspiring writer becomes involved with a Nobel prize winning author at the other end of his life, and we watch this proximate exchange of gifts, sex and mentorship amidst the shifting sands of power and time left before falling abruptly into another nested novel entirely opposite in geographical, gender and genre location.
Halliday's concerns are literary not political, she merely observes and presents an abstract and cerebral question about the limits of perspective taking in fiction.
