If anything, this anonymity grants me greater credibility!*<br /><br />2) This isn't about taking myself "too" seriously - this is about taking literature & its many glories seriously, and as seriously as they deserve. You are conversing with an anonymous Wodehouse aficionado, sir. I am not foreign to convoluted & ridiculous in the best way possible/awesome, for that has been achieved by others. This Glow business is...drably ridiculous.<br /><br />3) The plot isn't inventive at all, old sport! It's a very, very poor man's Pynchon. What causes you to so marvel is but the window dressing, and even that, I would argue, is far from inventive.<br /><br />4) Alas! Poor Beauman. I read him, Zimmerman - he was a fellow of infinite jest & most excellent fancy. But that was in a previous work. This one is a failure. "Swing & a miss" as the good men say, or good women, for those baseball announcers who are women.<br /><br />*No, I'm not being serious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-25008790509327828662015-12-22T12:26:11.560-06:002015-12-22T12:26:11.560-06:00Ok, I have been gone almost all year so have misse...Ok, I have been gone almost all year so have missed reviews of Fates and Furies........

The plot and the writing are both fantastically inventive. It's just a fun read, man - try not to take yourself too seriously.

The plot is not good, and the writing - I'm thinking of his use of figurative language - tries so desperately to be different that it winds up being senseless. It is a truly terrible book with no internal logic. Why does everyone give Raf information? He has no leverage! Anyway, this is one time you and I disagree, my dear man. I just can't see how someone who likes DFW could possibly find anything good to say about this atrocity of a novel.<br /><br />PS: I wasn't crazy about Boxer, Beetle either but I really did love TheTeleportation Accident.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
