Dave Slusher - Books reviewed On some faraway beach by David Sheppard
Interesting Subject Written About in Ultraviolet Prose
3 stars
- Eno is clearly an interesting guy with a wide range of intriguing interests and projects.
- Behavior is described in this book with a wink and an elbow to the ribs and a "what an insouciant cut-up" that seems to be verging dangerously close to sex pest territory.
- David Sheppard knows a lot of big words and he wants you to know that. This lends his prose an obdurate opacity that renders the celerity of rendering cogition of his auctorial prowess a glacial mien. Now imagine 500 pages of that.
It was worth reading for the interesting subject matter. The prose style made me put it down for months at a time more than once. The first 20%, everything prior to meeting Bryan Ferry, bored me shitless.
