A review by jimmylorunning
Glass, Irony and God by Anne Carson

4.0

Re-read. In the haze of my formative reading, this book was lost in the shuffle among all the other Carson books. I hardly remember it at all, but I can see why now. It's good but not memorable. It seems a mixed bag. 'Glass' and 'God' are predictably good pieces with that predictably Carsonian line of searching melancholy to it (this is not a bad thing), but 'The Fall of Rome' was good in a way I did not remember, it had a lightness and aimlessness to it, along with an easy humor.

It is important to strike a positive note,
towards the end.
I (we) have had a topnotch time.
