5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant and hilarious, November 29, 1999

scott forrey (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crystal Vision (Paperback)

how the previous reviewer could give this book one star...oh, never mind. Crystal Vision is as good as Sorrentino's other novels, especially Mulligan Stew, Steelwork, and Imaginative Qualities. Wildly inventive, comic, and deeply depressing all at once, Sorrentino's novel is a masterpiece in the American idiom. Sorrentino's ear for American speech is as good as a great jazz musician's.

This review is from: Crystal Vision (Paperback)

If this were the first book I'd read as an adult I'd have stopped reading 30 years ago.
