add to my books
Disclosure: Anne-Marie O'Connor is a friend of mine, but I have to just add a few words here to say how much I admire the way she's synthesized all this material into a gripping story of people, art, human nature (the worst kind), war, memory, recomp...more

In "Zone One," we have about 50 pages of plot surrounded b...more
Zone One by Colson Whitehead
" Attractive, well-dressed writing and some buxom, sexy phrase-turning make this novel’s surface shiny and pretty. However, its hollowness, lack of depth and monotone emotionlessness make the interior a soulless, vacuous fail. It’s prose porn with n... "

Zone One by Colson Whitehead
" This one has the distinction of being both artsy and fartsy. It's also both intelligent and clever, but it's a slow burn. In the first segment of the book, I felt like I was tripping over far-too-clever statements on society, as well as the whole... "
