Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead 82 reviews Tom Stoppard
Grove Press, 1994
Brilliant.
+ Rosencrantz & Gildenstern Are Dead + A grand aimlessness
No mean to be offensive or anything, but I honestly feel that if people do not find R&G Are Dead hysterically funny and/or wonderfully ingenious, they have probably missed Stoppard's point in this play.
This play was during the age known as Theatre of the Absurd, when ridiculous plots and ...

Ahab's Wife: Or, The Star-gazer: A Novel (P.S.) 241 reviews Sena Jeter Naslund
Harper Perennial, 2005
Modernity Amidst History: Or, Please Lord Not Again
+ a bit too long, but a beautiful book nontheless
This book was a gorgeously written, lyrical saga, no doubt. However, I was extremely disappointed by this book. All of the major characters aren't products of their time, but in spite of their time. Men and women from every walk of life, educated or uneducated, are extremely liberal and ...

Grendel 163 reviews John Gardner
Vintage, 1989
Distrubed....
I'm disturbed by the amount of people bashing _Grendel_. It's simply an amazing novel. Perhaps those offering sour reviews simply misunderstand the novel--Gardner, from my reading, isn't really attempting a retelling of the _Beowulf_ story. Instead, he's attempting to cast a philosophical ...
