It's important to trust someone's sense of great literature, there's too many false starts, red herrings and lyin' blurbs out there. So thank you...
Thanks Paddy. For me his prose just hits like nothing else, though I am aware not everyone feels the same way.
Okay, point taken about Glow Tripworth del Vasto. But, until this book appeared, the Western Canon had to make due without an Eastern European character named Dr. Zoltan von Kiss, and now that's been rectified.
Great review.
The felicitousness of your prose strikes me as entirely appropriate for a review of Pyncheon. (I did have to look up stichomythia. Another gap in my education, alas.)
Dark times notwithstanding, that quotation you ended with is reason enough to read this book. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Best wishes to you in the new year, my friend.
@LCJ, you have a point! And the world is a better place for it.
@Lisa, yes it's not often you get a chance to use that one! Appreciate the good wishes – here's to a happy and healthy 2026 to you and yours, too.
