Very original. I loved the way Henry plays with form. ( )

Henry offers us a novel which is both dislocated and careful intertwined. There is a dichotomy of balance and seperation in this book which readers may find, initially, hard to grasp. By this, I mean that the story is forever shifting narrative perspective, voice and style. It is not a traditional novel, it is not comfortable and it is not easy. However, it is a deeply facinating and enthralling read. Allow yourself to not understand, embrace the abstract nature of the book and you will be rewarded.
The book concerns itself about a leg. A leg of an old man which was meant to be buried, but the ceremony is interrupted by a snow storm. Enter the anthropologists and a whole drama about ownership, about ritual and about colonisation.
Amongst Henry's abstractness there is an enthralling, entertaining, funny and dramatic story to be read. Not a book for all readers, not a light read or a page turner but certainly a book worth the effort of your time. ( )
