Palladio A Novel

"There's such a thing as a good failure. Better a large, messy, brainy novel that doesn't entirely succeed than a sterile, perfectly cohesive bit of nothing. Jonathan Dee...is a consistently ambitious novelist. In his latest book, PALLADIO, he tackles morals, lost love and the art of selling--and what's more, he tries to link them all together. He doesn't quite pull it off, but it's a thrill to watch him try....The book is filled with too many ideas; it's too subtle; it tries to bring together too many disparate themes. But enough whining. These are luxurious complaints to make about a novel."Dee, Jonathan is the author of 'Palladio A Novel' with ISBN 9780375726415 and ISBN 0375726411.
