A review by exlibrislynne
An Atomic Romance by Bobbie Ann Mason

3.0

Radium Girls meets The Global War on Morris. A moment in the life story of an introspective man who may have been exposed to radiation at his workplace. This narrative is more about everyday life and intellectual theorizing, than change. While withholding likeable characters and a traditional reader-approved ending, I believe this work is still significant. It is a good example of zeitgeist for the employee of an American corporation with questionable employee protection and environmental practices. Only time will tell if its message will be diluted into obscurity or heralded to Jungle- like proportions.
