A review by ayarezk
Carpenter's Gothic by William Gaddis
4.0
I wanna give Lizzy a hug, and punch everyone else in the face. Every time I (hear) her standing up for herself in a conversation, I start cheering.
I love stories that begin with revealing the ending. This is my first Gaddis experience and definitely not the last. The language is very accessible. I've read a lot of books about WW II but this is the first time I've read something that touches Vietnam. The Africa thing (no spoilers) is genius. I loved the play-like dialogue structure.
The book in a word: Strangelovian!
