ish-i-ness reviewed Providence by Jacen Burrows
Review of 'Providence' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
For the first 10 installments I was on board. I would have loved a reworking of Lovecrafts stories into a commentary on the political situation of the time (unionization, prohibition), a nod towards the psychological strain of losing a loved one, a bit of an exploration into what it meant to be queer, and some discussion of a life committed to understanding literature or art. But those last two installments undid whatever progress was made on those ideas, so i cant really say i ended up liking it much. Disappointing really.
