Poor rendition of an interesting story
If you want to read repetitive prose that is witty, rhythmic and intelligent pick up any of Gertrude Stein's books.

This review is from: Melancholy (Paperback)
If you want to read repetitive prose that is witty, rhythmic and intelligent pick up any of Gertrude Stein's books. If you want to know what the stream-of-consciousness style is all about refer to Virginia Woolf or James Joyce. This book is a poor and annoying imitation of them. If you take out all the unnecessary, page-filling, repetitions this "novel" would become a pamphlet illustrating the workings of an obsesive, possibly deranged, mind; of interest, perhaps, to pop psychology enthusiasts. The story of Lars Hertervig, Norwegian painter of beautifully luminous landscapes, is lost somewhere in the mind of the author. The "glimmer of light" does not shine through!
