In the introduction to my edition, written by Joe R. Lansdale, this book is described as "stream of consciousness" and name-checks William Faulkner as a similar s-o-c author. I personally do not care for Faulkner's work, but I'd agree with that assessment of the book, certainly in what I'd describe as its swampy menacing vibe.
For my overall reading experience, I'd rate this a 2.5. The writing is occasionally repetitive and the initial sections were so ornate that I nearly bailed. But at the same time I found it interesting to see how Rogers revealed the solution. So a tricky one to rate and trickier to recommend. I wouldn't make it your first American Mystery Classic, that's for sure.… (altro)
