Book Reviews of Petersburg
Book Review: A book to be read twice--at least
Summary: 4 Stars
Like most of the great works of Modernist literature ("Ulysses," Proust's "...Temps Perdus," "Mrs. Dalloway") this is a book written to be re-read. Only on a second or third reading, can we understand the ironies and motifs hidden to us on our first encounter. Unlike life, literature allows us to do things again, and do them better the second time. So, if you've read Petersburg once and feel baffled, put it down for a few months and then return to it. Read it again. Trust me, it gets better.
