Book Reviews of The Book of Evidence
Book Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
When I read the Book of Evidence, I understood that I was experiencing a masterpiece. Clearly, Banville deserves a place not only in the cannon of Irish literature but in the greater western cannon as well. Stylistically, the writing is nothing shy of stunning. Likewise, the characters are fleshed out and three-dimensional. Lastly, the social, philosophic, and literary observations show the mark of true insight. Mix Dostoevsky and Camus with a little Beckett and Proust and add Banville's own originality and you have the above work of genius.
