The Pornographer's Poem: A Novel di Michael Turner
Basically 'I am the Cheese' meets 'Go ask Alice' with better prose than the latter. It seems as regrettable that the author wasted his effort on such an insipid, moralistic story as that I wasted my time reading such an insipid, moralistic story.
A collection of snippets, some stories, some just descriptions without evident story arc. Some characters vaguely echoed in other bits. Sort of a precise impressionism.
Very good. The second last one had a more conventional arc, with a satisfying ending. Probably even more satisfying because so rare. Most never arrived at the ending by the time they finished.

"I think it is best to start with the publisher's description, because if I had been handed this book without recommendation or any idea what to expect, I would have been quite confused.
One thing that is odd now that I think about it, is that there were no physical descriptions of appearances. I didn't even find myself wanting them. What I did find myself wanting was a name or a specific trait to classify them (purely to remember them by).
The tales are certainly not linear and to be honest, the themes of war and migration didn't jump out at me. Although I think this is to the book's credit; the themes and ideas portrayed aren't shoved down your throat by repetition.
The book left me with a sense of wanting to know more. I felt, unfulfilled because there were a number of characters I would love to know the whole story for. However, despite wanting more, I think that the book was a good length and snapshot just as it was. Anything lengthier in the same format and with the same narrative structure would have started to grate on my nerves. I would have become frustrated that none of my questions or wants were fulfilled. So yes, the story left me wanting more details and information about the events, but it was satisfying in itself. Hard to describe!
