The most adorable narcissism,
By
This review is from: visions&(re)visions (Paperback)
While the intellectual narcissism of the protagonist and his artistically narcissistic muse may put you off at first, you'll grow to understand that their underlying love for each other eventually eclipses their love of themselves.visions and (re)visions' protagonist, Alex Bridges, journeys around in time, location, prose and poetry interwoven with his sometimes-lover, Tressa's love letters. At first Alex's rejection of the relativism he encounters in academia seems adolescent and meaninglessly stand-offish, but through his one-sided correspondence with a university Dean you'll learn that he has deeply considered his position. With "vision and (re)visions" Kendall has painted a credible portrait of a point in life that all bright folks go through -- that moment between adolescence and adulthood when one discovers that one's values often go unnoticed by an indifferent and morally ambiguous world. Yet in the end we learn even a seemingly childish love can save us from wandering alone between the real world and the corners of our minds. In short, reading this book will make you think and it will make you feel.

visions&(re)visions,
By "cbriggsk" (Fort Collins, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: visions&(re)visions (Paperback)
'visions&(re)visions' is the story of one young man's uncomfortable journey through intellectual adolescence. a little bit funny, a little bit poetic, a little bit smart, a little bit sexy, it is the perfect book for a sunny but cold sunday morning with a package of cigarettes and a cup of coffee.'
