It reminds me of the non-lamented post-modernist movement (American, 1970s or so) in which writers achieved wonderful literary effects admired by critics but forgot that readers want to read stories.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16762413065147371710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-41487322351385124322015-05-01T08:07:21.078-07:002015-05-01T08:07:21.078-07:00Okey-doke.

Kudos to the author for innovating, but I can see how one might be confused about what's going on, etc.. I think I prefer books where I have (or develop as the story goes on) a little bit of a clearer picture of what everything means. Still, as I say, points for trying something new here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
