3.0 out of 5 stars A Slight Work, August 26, 2005

Mark Forrester "themisfit" (Hyattsville, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cutting Lisa (Voices of the South) (Paperback)

Having thoroughly enjoyed Everett's novel "God's Country," I was eager to read more of his work. However, "Cutting Lisa" was a considerable disappointment. The premise itself is interesting - a retired doctor is disturbed by his son's troubled marriage at the same time that he is rediscovering his own capacity for life - but Everett's style here is frustratingly clumsy. This is the work of a promising but unpolished student, one who would go on to find far more interesting things to say and a much stronger voice with which to say them.
