THE DOG OF THE WORLD av S. E. KARSNICK

This book was a little hard to follow like other reviewers have said. I think that when I read this I might have been to young to be reading this book. If I have read it later on when I am older I think the book would have made more sence to me.

It took a bit longer than usual to finish this book due to both the nature of the subject matter and the writing style. The insights were clear and the voices rang true, but the stream of consciousness style caused the voices to seem like they were on speed—voices of reason but going way too fast. There were times when I became confused as to whose thoughts I was reading, and times when I felt it didn’t really matter. The message was one I felt from engaging with the book rather than reading and thinking about it after the fact.

It has taken me a while to post this review because I have been trying to think of the most positive way to give my opinion…

This book has sections of what I would call brilliance. Karsnick is very good at making you feel that you are really hearing the thoughts of the two main characters. I loved that. The author also discusses philosophies in wonderful ways. Unfortunately, these moments of brilliance for me get lost in frequent pretentious one liners that do not enhance our understanding of what the writer is working to get across. Between that and the E.E. Coming’s break outs, I found myself rolling my eyes saying ‘ya, ya, we’re glad you are smart and well read but I want to concentrate on the novel’. Pretention gives way to what to me seemed to be purposeless diatribes about nothing. One here or there to give that poetic Beatnik feel would have been to my taste but instead it is laden with ‘LSD trippin’ that I read through to get to something more meaningful.

For me this book could have become one of my favorite to recommend and discuss with others. Perhaps if it had an editor that helped the author to enhance what is stunning and unique, while toning down the distractions.… (mer)
