hughesie 's review for:

The Tenth Muse by Catherine Chung

4.5

---

Really enjoyed it, it struck an absolute chord with me on several notes, but I felt the ending let it down somewhat. It wasn't the route the narrative ended on that disappointed, but it didn't fit stylistically with the rest of the novel. Sometimes you read a memoir written by someone that had an extremely interesting period in their life and then the final chapter is 'What has Happened Since the Interesting Thing'. The ending of this book had something of that tone about it.
