Title: Barth is a virtuoso, and this book is a *real* treat.
Product review: Barth is terrificaly smart. He's a gymnast, a virtuoso and, at times, just too too overwhelming.But, if you're like me, the first paragraph will transfix you with its beauty and incredibly long, curly-cued sentence. And from there you'll learn a truly different story of Pocohantas (sp?), and you'll laugh out loud -- often and even if you don't usually -- with story after story. You might find yourself skipping some of the 800 or so pages, but that's only out of exhaustion.And did I mention that you'll read about a lot of lusty swithing?It's long, but it's a really great journey. Highly recommended.
