Title: Detail Man
Review: While I am always impressed with Junger's use of detail to set a scene, I was not impressed with the narrative plot driving the story. I picked up this book for an assignment on crafting a visual place through words. For a journalist using a spare and expository writing style, he incorporates unusually clear and precise details, setting the scene clearly for readers. However, his narrative wandered over, around and through itself so that readers were left with the feeling he had gotten lost in his own research. He used historical details to ground the story in time and relate it to larger world events. The events were recounted through paragraphs and sometimes pages of narration, when a passing reference would have sufficed for his intended audience. These seemingly random divergions caused the book to feel as if it was stuffed with fluff to reach the required page allotment. Though the book was sufficient for the intended assignment, it is disappointing when taken in its entirety.
