Far Tortuga
by Peter Matthiessen
by Peter Matthiessen
Talk about your love-it-or-hate-it books! Many find this experimental novel completely impenetrable, but I thought it was heartbreaking and riveting. The book's design, featuring inkblot-like illustrations, poetic arrangements of words on the page, and impressionistic dialog among the Caribbean turtle fishermen who are the focus of the story, cast a spell on me I found it hard to shake. Highly recommended.
