The Passion According to G.H.

An extraordinary work by the greatest writer of the interior crisis, of the fragmented and the fragmenting, of the breaking and the broken...Her technique is impeccable - the breadcrumbs of an exterior life, of "plot" and "reasons", which are just enough to keep the reader correctly situated but never undermine the mythic and the universally personal (the self that is all self). I need to re-read it though, I need to go slow and listen hard instead of being caught up in the flow...

"Extraordinary. I stumbled through the thicket of those first ten or so pages, and then she took my hand...She truly is unlike any other."

Would you recommend this novel over The Hour of the Star?

Yes - I think so - though both are incredible
Thank you for responding so quickly; I couldn't decide between the two and I'm doing another round of obsessive book-buying. ;-) By the way, the comment you made on September 8th (the day of my birthday, coincidentally) really struck me... I felt the same way just a few pages into "A Breath of Life."
