Title: A symptom of our time.
Product review: This book is a brave effort but is neverthelesssymptomatic of the state of literature in the21st century. How far we have fallen since theera of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky!Evidently the author is a structuralist who hasseen "Last Year in Marienbad" a few too manytimes and gone off the deep end. One is soonstruck by the author's prolixity and extremely minimal vocabulary. The plot is so fragmented and pointillistic that one begins to feel they could start anywhere and read in either direction or upside down and the novel would make as much or as little sense.The title of the appendix is an oxymoron and one is left to wonder if this was an attempt at humor, or simple ineptness. A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
