A review by malorisaurus
The Cripple and His Talismans by Anosh Irani

4.0

I must confess that for the first half of this book I didn't feel like I connected with it. It is surreal. It is strange. It doesn't seem to go in any direction. I then realized that this is a fable told in a spiral. You walk along an obscured, but nevertheless designated, path and for a while nothing seems to connect or go anywhere But at some point you will reach the center. When you look all around from that point, you realize that everything led to that one spot. The path still doesn't make any sense, but that spot makes the most sense in the whole world.
