Bees Love Truth

As if we didn't know, Jonathan Lethem can play the game too.

I read his Fortress of Solitude a little while ago, which started really well but ultimately fell off. It is possible that that was his intent, but I had a hard time telling. It ended up feeling like the first half of something, maybe, sort of like all setup and no payoff.

Today I am spending on Anansi Boys. It's so Douglas Adamsy it's all over you screen.

Goddamn it, this isn't even any good.
'Increasing trepidation'?! How out of character can you get for a PKD title? They're not even good fake Bob Dylan song titles, but that fits better than the intended pastiche.
My guess is that the author saw 'A Scanner Darkly' just now. And that is all.



* Post title is a clunky and ill-conceived repurposing of the title of Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said. You should probably just ignore it. JUST BECAUSE I CRITICISE DOES NOT MEAN I CAN DO IT.
