A review by menniemenace
Alamut by Vladimir Bartol, Michael Biggins
5.0
At the risk of being super cheesy, I'll put that quote at the start of my review. I need this, so let me have it.
This book is written by a Slovenian Author in the 20th century. It's about the Sunni/Shia and the Shia/Shia wars in the 11th century in Iran. Talk about going WAY out of your comfort zone.
This book is pretty well-written. It has poetry battles (no idea if that's what they call it in English), false prophets, and nihilism!
It's very deep and contemplative. very insomnia-inducing.
(I'll be back with an actual review later when the whole book is absorbed.)
