A review by nickanderson
The Divinity Student by Michael Cisco, Harry O. Morris

4.0

I had no idea you could write this way. Each surreal image is rendered so clearly, I had trouble getting myself back out of it. It's a hard read - there's no skimming, and it might take you as long to read as a novel twice its length. I wouldn't say there was much in the way of a satisfying narrative arc, either - rather, this is a good book for someone looking to drift idly in the imagery of another world, not race to an ending point. I read it on a 12 hour plane flight, so I was a captive audience - but I loved every second I spent in San Venificio.
