Title: Doc is no holiday
Review: Paul West is an accomplished writer whose best work--The Tent of Orange Mist, Ratman of Paris--may, judging by this abortive, muddled misfire of a novel,regrettably be behind him. Aside from any nits re: historical accuracy, "O.K." simply fails to cohere as a fully-realized work of mature fiction. Intended to evoke the psychic life of the the tubercular frontier dentist Doc Holliday, "O.K." is a badly fumbled, badly jumbled and, for West, disappointingly shallow exercise in logorrhea. Lifeless, pointless, clumsily executed, it is a novel bereft of West's customary grace, wit, insight or energy. The author so clearly failed to connect with or inhabit his subject that "O.K." can only be judged his least successful work to date. Too bad. Holliday is an infinitely fascinating figure deserving of better.
