Beginnings of Genius
Revisado: 11-15-07
I recently rediscovered Pynchon after a brief brush with him in collrege and am in awe of his singularly American genius. This complex, layered, immensely intellectual, wildly wacky, symbolic and ultimately spiritual novella was written in the mid 60's. Way ahead of its time, its scary clairvoyant glimpse into the culture-to-be is classic Pynchon-to-be. In "Crying" we see the genesis of genius and a completely original mind not to be missed by anyone who loves literature. I'm on my 6th reading (listening) of this book and each time I appreciate it more. I like the narration even though other reviews have been negative about it. It's a tough book to read, and I feel this narrator does it justice.

Josie Tyrell, art model, teen runaway, and denizen of LA's 1980s punk-rock scene, finds a chance at real love with art student Michael Faraday. A Harvard dropout and son of a renowned pianist, Michael introduces her to his spiritual quest and a world of sophistication she had never dreamed existed. But when she receives a call from the Los Angeles County coroner, asking her to identify her lover's dead body, her bright dreams all fade to black.

wrong reader
Revisado: 05-06-07
This is a good story from a fine writer but Jennifer Jason Leigh is the wrong reader. She is a great actress, so I was looking forward to this audiobook and was so diasappointed to hear her droning, flat reading that sounded like she was stoned half the time. She didn't even seem to be concentrating on the text at times, as the expression was off key, like a singer hitting the wrong note of a song. I wouldn't suggest getting this book until the library version comes out (hopefully soon). On the flip side of actress/readers Julie Roberts has an incredible voice on audio and anything read by her is a joy to listen to.
