They got the TITLE wrong!,

This review is from: The Web and The Root (Harper Perennial Modern Classics) (Kindle Edition)
For crying out loud, it's The Web and the ROCK. How could they screw THAT up?
That said, this is more of a slog than anything else Wolfe wrote, and I am at a loss to understand why he spent time on what essentially is an inferior rewrite of Look Homeward, Angel. Instead of Eugene Gant, we have an apelike George Webber. To be fair, The Web and the Rock, as well as You Can't Go Home Again, weren't meant by Wolfe to be stand-alone novels - they were posthumously edited out of a much larger manuscript titled The October Fair. But I would MUCH rather have Of Time and the River than both of the posthumous works together. If you haven't read Look Homeward, Angel, please skip this entirely. And if you've finished both Angel and Of Time and the River, start this one only if you really feel the need, because I was quite disappointed. |
