Try reading The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith, or Collected Stories (his short-form stories are as impressive as Borges, and don't go near any form of history).

I have been struggling of late with historical fiction and it was that half of this novel which I couldn't really have cared less about. It will be that I think which prevents me for now from seeking out any more of his books, but thanks for the tips and for the comment.William Rycrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056188088340973039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534509012046591314.post-87593496330965349312012-04-17T21:37:36.804+01:002012-04-17T21:37:36.804+01:00really your first I m shocked I not read this or h...really your first I m shocked I not read this or his last but lot of his earlier books I try kelly gang a real gem or oscar and lucinda both do what I like in his early books and that is mix fact and fiction and his wonderful prose style ,I ll read this as the clockwork science think really appeal to me but do wonder if Carey has gone of boil a bit as last book was less well received than earlier books ,all the best stustujallenhttp://winstonsdad.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
