Review: Buzz Aldrin, What Happened to You in All the Confusion?
Buzz Aldrin, What Happened to You in All the Confusion?
Johan Harstad’s writing (translated from the Norwegian) is intimate, beautiful, almost a form of poetry, and it demands that you sit back and let it wash over you, slowly. But that will only get you so far – it is a long book. I struggled through as much as I could, but the characters and plot never arrived in a way that motivated me to plod any further.
The prose is delightfully unique and worth examining in-depth, but this is one of those books I’ll revisit when I have the extra time to give it the rigor it deserves. (Which, judging by that growing pile, may not be for another lifetime or two.)
