[ 2.0 stars ] "I became interested in this book because I expected a morality tale of the art world. It is that, but this book is a SLOG. I mean - over 100 pages to describe someone's unhappy childhood with an overreligious and mean-spirited aunt. Come on. Just when it started to get interesting, off it goes into a 50 page account of a drunken New Year's Eve. Life is too short to waste on boring st ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 2.0 stars ] "So The Recognitions is a hugely important novel. With it's satirical bouncing around and overwrought, dense writing style, it pointed the way forward for a lot of maximalist/hysterial realistic fiction that's been written in the last 50 years.
