akmassey reviewed A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr.
Highly unusual After the Holocaust novel. In the far future, 20th century texts are preserved …
A classic for a reason
Intensely creative story and framing. Even more impressive given the amount of dystopic literature that didn't exist at the time this was written.
There are parts of the ending that felt a tiny bit predictable and parts that I wish had been wrapped up a bit cleaner, but these are minor quibbles in an otherwise excellent read.
