Title: More fun than a barrel of post-modern symbolic monkeys
Review: TCOL49 really fooled me the first time. The story line seemed to be simply about the 60s and conspiracies and I thought it was weird. On re-reading the book I really got more of a feeling of Oed in the real present shifting world of sensuality and craziness and random stuff with shit just happening on top of it all. She gets The Call. Her search for the truth leads her to frustration and yer basic angst with a touch of ennui. My feeling is that this book is about whether we can know or distinguish between conspiracies that are forces of history, gradually becoming obscure and being assimilated into the landscape and those of the present that are more personal and acute. Is there a difference or is all history (and every-day life)the result of treachery, deceit and politics? Does it matter? Oh, yeah, I really got into it alot more after I reread it.
Is the review positive or negative?
