Title: A complex and brilliant novel.....
Product review: This book is like a very poetic and enchanting accident by the side of the highway, despite the fact that disaster lurks, you just can't help looking over and then being drawn in by it. Similar in narrative style to James Joyce, Malcom Lowry is more accessable and his meanings sink in more with the passage of time. It has been weeks now since I finished U.T.V, yet it keeps revealing itself and its meanings in ever more complex ways. Picture a stone thrown into a pond and the ripples circling out into infinity and you get my point. Because of the stream-of-consciousness style, it can be confusing at times. Like any great book though, patience is a virtue that is highly rewarded. Sad, poignant, and revealing this novel (ranked #11 on the '100 Greatest Novels of the 20th List') is one that beyond being merely engrossing also packs one hell of a walop!
