Sam Hicks and 11 other people liked Sue Miz 's review of Flesh:
Flesh by David Szalay
"How to write a book about Masculinity? easy
Just do the bare minimum"

Flesh by David Szalay

Dear oh dear. I started reading The Great Gatsby after this just to remind myself how surprising and exciting a sentence can be. But The Great Szalay holds himself above such fripperies. His is a pure grey vision, unencumbered by observation or insig ...more
The Family Experiment by John Marrs
"1.5 ⭐️

Apparently stories that wouldn’t have made it big on Wattpad, lacking all the poise and sophistication of the self-published, serialized, fan-fiction novella, are finding publishers now and scoring 4 stars on Goodreads.

I mean, I love a meandering sentence and a discursive style; I'm a big WG Sebald fan. But by page 140 of this horror I was screaming 'Just shut up and whack someone, why don't you?' Couldn't make it beyond that point. Wrong sort of meandering. ...more

A large part of this book is devoted to the histories of the various Bohemian courts, and although I appreciate the need to explore the milieu that birthed the whole Rosicrucian thing (as it turns out, three little books which may have been intended ...more

Enjoyed the first few chapters, which dealt with the many, many, 'sons of god' miracle workers kicking around at roughly the same time as Jesus, but the subsequent chapters were largely rehashes of material that has been covered in greater depth else ...more
