Intellectual masturbation that didn’t care about the audience’s entertainment or enlightenment. And it seemed like DFW didn’t even like his characters. One character depiction was borderline racist, at best very stereotypical. Plot was convoluted and inconclusive, to the extent that it existed. Didn’t care about the Wittgenstein stuff; it didn’t convince me it was important. Best thing I can say about it was that was easily readable. Kinda funny and mostly not dull on a prose level. Basically juvenilia at the end of the day so whatever. ( ) I feel like this book wasn't meant to be enjoyed, it was meant to make one think "my, what an intelligent author". My first DFW book. Not sure if I'll read another. My brother was pretty on the nose to describe him as stream of consciousness writing meets Tolkien. Why he purchased this for me with that opinion I'm not sure. Suppose I'm glad I read it, I can't deny it was interesting. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Fiction.
Literature.
HTML: Published when Wallace was just twenty-four years old, The Broom of the System stunned critics and marked the emergence of an extraordinary new talent. At the center of this outlandishly funny, fiercely intelligent novel is the bewitching heroine, Lenore Stonecipher Beadsman. The year is 1990 and the place is a slightly altered Cleveland, Ohio. Lenore's great-grandmother has disappeared with twenty-five other inmates of the Shaker Heights Nursing Home. Her beau, and boss, Rick Vigorous, is insanely jealous, and her cockatiel, Vlad the Impaler, has suddenly started spouting a mixture of psycho- babble, Auden, and the King James Bible. Ingenious and entertaining, this debut from one of the most innovative writers of his generation brilliantly explores the paradoxes of language, storytelling, and reality. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
