Helprin - A terrific story teller
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
An old man tells the story of his extraordinary life, first rich with love of beauty, color, music, and the joy of living, then sharply contrasted by the loss and horror of WWI that swallows him and all he loves. Action and brutality delivered with gorgeous prose and spirituality. And it works brilliantly.
The first 50 pages or so are slow, but don't give up, the next 750 pages are the payoff.
Helprin has crazy writing skills.
