A review by ryan_dm
Aegypt, by John Crowley
2.0
'He didn't understand what his book was about.'
I don't know if Crowley was attempting something different or merely struggling to fulfill a contractual obligation, but this was a meandering slog that I look forward to forgetting. I now know more about divorce and lesson planning than I want to.
There's nothing fantastical about this story to justify it being shelved as such by my library. It's a John Steinbeck novel without any meaningful social commentary.
