Carry Me Like Water

Rating:
Summary: My favorite novel
Review: Carry me like water uses some very fun and surreal Mexican catholic imagery and new age spiritual imagery. More importantly, it has the best character development of any novel I've read. I highly recommend this book!

Summary: Read it. You'll like it.
Review: Part of this favorable review comes from the fact that I grew up in Palo Alto and the S.F. Bay Area. The book is about language, about communication, about the need we all have to achieve it, even if it means shaking up our life. The coincidences of the plot all work to perfection. It works. The book makes you believe all things are possible, all things can change, and it's never too later. It also presents a sadly accurate view of gay love in the Bay Area. It's a fine, fine book.

Summary: My favorite book of all time...
Review: This is the finest writing I've ever seen - you literally forget you're reading a work of fiction. The characters and their stories are so finely crafted, no coincidence is beyond belief, no emotion too handily displayed. This book breaks your heart and fills you with joy at the same time. So unfortunate that it's out of print.
