A review by rebus
Rubicon Beach (Revised) by Steve Erickson

2.5

There may be something here, but I'm certain that it's not worth the bother. 
Erickson is just another boring and abstract author who prefers to play with words--which always bored me, as it is an abuse of language and not a delight--and honestly has nothing to say about humanity or the world (his characters are ciphers that are so thinly drawn that they make comic book characters look well developed).
