4.0 out of 5 stars
Soon to be republished - hooray!,
This review is from: Last Days of Louisiana Red (Paperback)
A weird, dreamlikle book, almost impossible to describe - makes Gravity's Rainbow look like Biggles, in terms of complexity and non-linearity. It basically deals with the exploits of PaPa LaBas, voodoo detective, and his attempts to find and destroy Louisiana Red - an insidious force that causes anger and pain. But really, as far as literary descriptions go, this is about as comprehensive as "Finnegan's Wake is about this guy who's having a dream." The book's more like a kaleidoscope of American (specifically black) culture, leaving nothing out.The quality of the writing can't be denied, and it's so full of brilliant images and ideas that it'll leave your head buzzing. |
