Dissident Gardens
by Jonathan Lethem
anti-clamatic and overwrought. I tried, i tried real hard. I checked this out from the library at the beginning of December because this was meant to be my kick off for Christmas break reading. After three renewals at the library and i'm finally ready to say i am done with this text. What hurts the most is how much i really like Jonathan Lethem. I can easily say that i love three of his books, but this will never be added to that shelf.
This book taught me that my patience and tolerance for a lesser work from an author i like is 159 pages.
This book mirrored the failures of Michael Chabon's Telegraph Avenue. It focused so much on using regionalism, that it weighed down the narrative. When you setting has more character than your characters, then you have a problem.
