This phenomenal book, best read in one sitting, is inspiring me to read through the Man Booker International Prize winners and the rest of David Grossman's backlist. ![]() While this is an important issue and it is important to be challenged by novels depicting different experiences from one's own, this book is from the perspective of an Israeli man in the army, without any perspective from Palestinians, so I don't see it as the most important or under-represented voice to be listening to on this topic. I suspect that this book was so popular because it is about the Israeli occupation of Palestine. But I didn't see myself starting to care about the protagonist to justify continuing. Halfway through it was only just starting to allude to what I gathered from other reviews was some traumatic event. ![]() I don't generally like when bigoted jokes are used as a vehicle for portraying the character telling them in a bad light- it is not particularly clever in my opinion and at the end of the day, the jokes are still being told at the expense of oppressed groups in order to make some point. I can get that that is the point but I don't get any fulfilment out of watching an accurate depiction of a train wreck, nor did I think there was sufficient insight or talent in how the author portrayed it to justify the experience. It was bad and full of cliche sexist and otherwise bigoted jokes.

Lewis soon learns that his uncle is a warlock and that anyone can, with enough study, become a warlock. ![]() That ship sailing scene might be a tip of the hat to the Chronicles of Narnia (“Adventure on the Dawn Treader” which introduces Eustace Scrubb). And yet the organ seems to play on its own, an overstuffed chair has feelings like an shy and stand-offish dog and the stain glass window seems to send messages. The house where Uncle Jonathan lives is similarly flamboyant–from the stylized Victorian-ish floral wallpaper and the many clocks to the organ under the stairwell and the stain glass window at the top of the stairs. ![]() |
