Title: I Must Be Missing Something
Review: It is very rare that I experience difficulty in reading a book, but "Empire of Dreams" represents the exception. From the beginning, I struggled with finding sense of the "carnival-style spectacle" that had been promised. Gianninia Braschi purports to be sending up a spoof of the magical realism of Latin American authors, but I found her writing style to be a complete mismatch of my reading style.
