Fez felt promising at times: a man who's brought his wife to the maternity hospital suddenly disappears from his Moscow apartment then finds himself held prisoner in a dreary basement. Maybe in Fez. But not in a fez, though one appears later in the book. Fez isn't just a parallel reality book, it's a spiritual parallel reality book about life, death, and journeys that includes a bit of formal experimentation... and I'm afraid most everything (i.e. the spiritual "it" and the formal "it") felt rather stale to me, despite some nice imagery and humor.
