A review by thelostvoid
The Children's Bach by Helen Garner
Read for ATS1904: Reading the City
Well this certainly wasn't as boring to read as Don's Party, but it definitely has a lot of similar qualities. There is something about contemporary fiction that really bores me ... where's the action? The drama? The fantastical elements to draw me away from the action/drama/fantasy of regular life. Ugh. Anyways, this was pretty good. I didn't hate it, the characters were complex and interesting. I am sure people who are more functional right now than me will have some interesting things to say about this in class tomorrow.
