Book Reviews of Appointment in Samarra: A Novel
Book Review: 1st Novel in a long time if evah
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't recall the last time or if I've ever read a novel before, At the Age of 32, I saw my spiraling life in the characterization of Julian.But the culture in the 30s. OMG I always thought of it to be so uptight and conservative. One thing is how the Jewish people were infered in this book, as a culture we have come a long way, I don't know where we've gone, but we've gone a long way. Another was the attitudes instilled with marriage... it seemed a sort of stick by your man, if he's a cheating sonofabitch there could be worse, so stick it out... The next was the stag line, so they go to a dance, and there is a line of men, married/single that wait for a girl to dance or to cut in on someone. Nowadays in my imagination if you going to a dance or a club with a woman, that is the woman your with the whole night. Oh my has birth control changed the way families are peiced together. I tend to see why in many cases they slept in a separate bed most nights. We have a freedom that is off the hook in comparison. Maybe I missed the point, but three simple days Oh yeah, I could be 'there' in three days.
