The Details

With its non-linear structure, poetic prose, and dreamlike fragmented (literally) recollection of people and the memories clinging to them, this book offers a fascinating observation of how the narrator's characters and life path are shaped by the circumstances and influential people in her life. It presents quotable thoughts on literature, reading, and human relations. However, it falls short of being truly impressive, lacking that special factor to make it highly memorable for the reader. Overall, I would rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
