Book Review: Oedipus Max
Summary: 4 Stars
From the author of I'm Not Stiller, Homo Faber is the tale of a brilliant but socially frigid engineer who, during a Trans-Atlantic voyage, attempts to jazz up his drab Apollonian existence with a shot of some intense Dionysian lust, and instead finds himself in a nightmarish scenario of...um... Greek proportions, in which some absolutely no-no hanky panky occurs, leaving one person figuratively blind and another literally dead. A great, great story about many things, chief among them identity, and how that changes when one enters the business called love. Once you've finished, you might considering going to your local video store and checking out the equally thoughtful and provoking film version, "Voyager", starring Sam Shepard and Julie Delpy.
