DARK HORSEY says-Another very funny & formally witty novel from Sorrentino- a parody of the 'Boys Western Adventure' tale. Every sentence is a question."Did the five adventurers finally spy the far-off gleam? Was it, according to Hank, a fire, by thunder, for sartain? Did Dick then wonder aloud whether . . ."Etc. OR"Who was the squat, hefty, stout, burly, and withal smiling hairpin of a cowpoke in the doorway?"Is the answer to each question Guess So, Probably, Maybe, or Not Likely even? Does that render the reader complicit in the genre's cliche, yet amused at the turns the story takes? You tell me? |
