The Long Accomplishment: A Memoir of Hope and… por Rick Moody
Sorry but I did not finish.
This one lost me at about the halfway point. It doesn't seem to really be about anything. I mean I guess you could say it's about how screwed Western culture is, but he's not very subtle in his satire, and it wasn't very satisfying, as a theme. He doesn't use his characters to bring you along to his obvious sense of despair for our future. So you just don't care. Or at least I didn't care.
Overlong and over-indulgent.
There is a sense of deterioration reading this one. The opening section is entertaining, downright enjoyable. This is followed by a mission-to-Mars which, while heavily flawed, at least can be enjoyed as a sort of "literary author attempts to write low-budget sci-fi" production. The third part, an overwritten re-telling of the 1963 film The Crawling Hand, is downright tedious, ending with an end-of-the-world party that might be interesting if you're one of the three thinking people who haven't had enough of that Burning Man nonsense. The closing bit, a continuation of the story at the beginning, is a disappointing attempt to cast the previous two parts as a the output of an author coping with loss.
Sometimes these neat ideas, they're best left as ideas, right? Or do what Borges did, and just describe that idea, so that people aren't wading through seven hundred pages of your attempt to realize it.… (mais)
