2.0 out of 5 stars A Bunch Of Miserable Hedonists Puzzle Over Their Unhappiness, June 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The High Cost of Living (Hardcover)

The characters in this novel have all the ecoutrements of interesting personalities--groovy hobbies, varied sexuality, and complicated personal lives. Yet, somehow, they remain flat. Maybe it is Piercy's intention to show how ultimately we are all really alone. These characters don't seem to give a damn about each other which makes their convoluted relations unengaging. If you're looking for a good book by Piercy, I'd recommend _Gone to Soldiers_ instead.
