Border Districts: A Fiction by Gerald Murnane

3.0

A monologue of memory and imagination written in a distinct, precise style with occasionally beautiful, descriptive passages, thematically connected by the narrator's fascination with stained glass. Without anything dramatic to maintain my interest, I persevered to the end because of the language and manner of writing, not the subject matter. Anna Burns employs a similar style in 'Milkman' to much greater effect. 4 stars for the writing, 2 for content.
