Anita Pomerantz's Reviews > Glory

For me, this book landed in an interesting way. I like modern architecture . . .and when I see it, I love it in many, many forms. But if I happen to see, say, Cathedrale Notre-Dame . . .yeah, it's not modern, but like WOW, right?

That's exactly how I felt about this book. I don't like satire as a general rule, and this book was certainly satirical. And I hate magical realism, and this book had touches of that. And usually, I like stories that are told in straightforward language, but with original telling details that say it all. And this book was more like a super talented preacher was giving a brilliant sermon - - rhythmic and repetitive (in a good way) and more lush.

And all I can say at the end, is wow.

Did I like it? Well, I wouldn't want this to be my everyday reading experience, and I wouldn't necessarily seek another book like it out. But when you stumble upon something masterful, you know.
