Title: Better as a Short Story
Product review: Krauser has a fun idea that worked well as a short story, but grows old as a novel. The prose includes some brilliant sections of great pathos and humor, but also becomes tedious at times--almost as if the author has become as fascinated with his own words as the protagonist has with his fruit. (This is a nice effect at first, but like a lot of experimental writing, it begins to wear thin before too long.) Still, before it tests the patience, the book is enjoyable. I look forward to Krauser's next work.
