Book Reviews of Death in Venice
Book Review: 5 Stars 3 times - Forward, Novel and Translation
Summary: 5 Stars
This book deserves 3 sets of 5 stars.
The first set goes to Michael Cunningham's extraordinary forward. His insights are tremendous and well worth reading. Read them first if this is your second time through the novel, or save them for the end if this is your first time through.
The novel itself is simply a masterpiece. One of the best novels ever written, and quality per word, the best I know of. It was phenomenal when I was 20, it is even better now, 30 years later (though I do miss reading it on the Lido!)
This translation is far better than the one I read originally, and that may well be a sign of the times as much as a comment on the quality of the two translators.
Don't read too much about the book, read the book. Wonderful.
