madness and joy,

This review is from: Return to Manure (Paperback)
the sheer lyricism of this work makes it more than worth the ride. Federman plays with us, teases us, and compells us to read late into night as his narrator drives his wife mad with delays and digressions. he is on his way to the farm, to the origin, to his origins but there is no getting there. there is only a delightful car ride that refuses toa rrive that can never arrive, how can anyone ever return to an origin? so his narrator delays his arrival. this is heartbreaking storytelling. real story telling. the kind of narrative voice that is rare in american fiction and that is never celebrated. Federman is Beckett. no doubt. Beckett's rhythms and narrative drive is given a new life through federman's writing. this is fine writing. a writer's writing.
