Book Reviews of The Unconsoled
Book Review: Mysterious, beguiling fiction, an all too real dream-world
Summary: 5 Stars
Remember those Max Escher drawings of staircases that somehow turn back on themselves, buildings where everything looks fine, but somehow the planes are all wrong? The Unconsoled lures you into a similar world, where the natural order of relationships and places is somehow "disturbed". As you read, you find yourself remembering your own dreams of journeys that never finish and relationships that end up strangely out of synch with reality. A compelling book, Kafkaesque (a compliment!), or perhaps with shades of Mervyn Peake. Must have.
