Maybe my enjoyment was ruined by the foreword which discussed some of the psychosexual &c. interpretations of 'Turn', but I found that the latter tale was much more satisfying. I normally like a measure of ambiguity, so perhaps knowing ahead of time some of the vast array of lit. crit. ink spilled on 'Turn' kept me from fully getting into it. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/287087?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
