Gold Bug Variations by Richard Powers
3.0

I'm too exhausted, having finished this, to write a proper review. Everyone seems to have basically the same impression of Powers: smart guy, very learned, overintellectualizes a lot, sucks at characterization. It's just a matter of whether you like it or not. I do, at least enough to keep reading his work. This one tried my patience though. Every character is exceptionally clever and cannot utter a plain sentence or think a trivial thought. Exhausting.
