Maybe her royal highness's next book will be about land theft, torture techniques, embezzlement, repression of civil liberties, and spying, things she knows infinitely more about than the silly humanism evinced in this embarrassing book. Lest anybod...more |

| I really like this novel, but at times find it mediocre. Brink is wonderful at conveying political commitments through dialog without usually relying on pedantry. I don't find the theme of a white man coming into consciousness about racism (in fuck...more | |

Extremely irritating prose, with bad wordplay everywhere. Could not put this down fast enough.

| This is an enjoyable read, but not necessarily a great novel. I agree with my friend Amani that the two male protagonists, Leonard and Mitchell, are more interesting than the woman protagonist, Madeleine, though she's a pretty well-drawn character. ...more | |

There are some beautiful passages in this book along with some brilliantly insightful ruminations about spirituality, sacrifice, and the nature of love--romantic and otherwise. The two main male characters are infinitely more complex that the female...
