★★☆☆☆
Meandering and somewhat pointless
I looked forward to this book based on the awards and the bio of the author. Then I realized it was a check-list of post-modern meta-novel tropes that failed to satisfy. Nevertheless there is a profound intelligence here...perhaps the author would have been a more satisfying philosopher....I read this after reading a classic 19th century novel...this was like reading a menu instead of enjoying the meal.
