Críticas

The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature por Neal Pollack

I particularly enjoyed “Introduction to the New Slavery.” Recommended by Simon Rich, and it’s easy to see parallels: very short stories, highly ironic, absurd scenarios, punchy, declarative sentences.

Never Mind the Pollacks: A Rock and Roll Novel (P.S.) por Neal Pollack

For some reason this style just annoyed the hell out of me. I put the book down and probably wont go back to it

Keep Mars Weird por Neal Pollack

A fun satire. Probably better if you're from Austin.

Repeat por Neal Pollack

Title: Repeat

Author: Neal Pollack

Publication Date: Mar 2015

Genre: Sci-Fi

Score: 4/5

Repeat was a pleasant surprise. It’s not perfect and an obvious derivation of Replay by Ken Grimwood but a very strong 3.5/5 regardless. It tells the story of a man caught in an infinite time loop who disappears on the eve of his fortieth birthday and reappears into his fetal self as he is being born. This happens hundreds of times and the story deals with his actions during these repeats. The ending is too abrupt. There’s no inciting event that causes his repeats to stop. I’m not sure he even learns anything worthwhile. But the ride there is fine and an easy read. Recommended.
