Review title: A Surreal, Wild Ride
Product review: The word "unique" is a cliche'. Yet it certainly applies to Sean Connolley's travelogue within a buddy novel within a dadaist word salad, within a dinner conversation. Whew!Stay awake on this wild ride. You won't be traveling in a straight line for long. You'll veer off into evolutionary biology, or Mafia drug deals, or pyromania, or the political intrigues of the stone cult, or... There's even a cohesive plot in there somewhere!The book moves along nicely, but Connolley's formal style of dialogue-within-dialogue takes some getting used to. This isn't a book you read half asleep in front of the TV. Concentrate, and your attention will be amply rewarded with clever gems of writing you'll find sprinkled liberally throughout this book.I loved "A Great Place to Die". Read it for its metaphysical parody, for its seductive lyricism, or, heck, just read it for fun......and wait until you find out how it ends!
