Synopsis
The novel's...refractive narration, lush prose and obsessive characters are reminiscent of Vladimir Nabokov. Like Nabokov, Goldstein is as focused on the manner of telling as on the tale itself. Her pitch is high and romantic, which seems odd for the rarefied ideas being communicated, until we realize that it takes a certain wild state of mind to bring properties of light to bear on all the darkness around us.
