Book Reviews of AVA
Book Review: Pointlessly beautiful language
Summary: 2 Stars
Readers searching for alternatives to mainstream fiction seem willing to accept any crumbs; AVA is a case in point. Maso's language is, indeed, innovative and often quite beautiful. As is often the case with "innovative" fiction, however, it goes nowhere. AVA is highly self-indulgent--the writer is everywhere on the page--and this supposed meditation on death and dying seems like little more that the author's excuse to brag about her knowledge of art and literature and drop a few names.
