Book Reviews of Paradise
Book Review: A trail of books
Summary: 3 Stars
The book tries to place a finger on what love (or search for paradise or an undefined ache) means. The author/narrator is visiting Marquesa (Paradise on earth, as felt by a variety of authors over the last 2 centuries) while his mother is in death bed. Mother dies one day after the author returns. A quick read, but not necessarily thought provoking. It almost felt like the author could not penetrate into his own ego-chill (to consider one's own non-existence - Erik Erikson reference in the book). The book is filled with references to books which provide a background to the author's thoughts, which is very useful.
