A Monster's Notes Review"A Monster's Notes" is a strange, interesting, and unique work of literary imagination. If you picked it up in a library or bookstore and started reading it, the overwhelming majority of readers would be both intrigued and confused. The novels depends upon a huge backstory that is not apparent in the text. It also employs techniques that are nonstandard for novels. There is no formal narrative or character or plot in the sense of those terms you'd use with Cervantes or Dickens or Hemingway or whomever you prefer. Instead, the work advances through a collage form: It combines letters, notes, and observations. It is truly strange, weird, and unsettled.
Because it is strange I would encourage you to read it.
Because it is weak, I would encourage you to read it while sitting in a library or bookstore, rather than buying it now or even purchasing a used paperback edition.
Laurie Sheck's literary experiment ultimately fails and does not warrant widespread careful reading once, much less twice. It starts with a superb postmodern premise - what if "Frankenstein" was not fiction, but fact - and then falls away, page after page for five hundred pages - five hundred pages of one epigram or one sentence or one paragraph of text in some instances.
Imagine that Victor Frankenstein created life and that the monster lived among us. And that the monster knew Mary Bysshe Shelley/Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin; inspired her to write; then lived past her death and the death of her circle; and lived into our times. If this doesn't start an imaginative fire in you, then your wood's wet.
But, from this striking, bright, and hot idea, Laurie Sheck produces a weak, quivering, and fragmented accomplishment that does not bear careful reading or consideration. For me.
For you?
Please scan the book in a library or store or with a first chapter on your device - Kindle, iPod, or iPhone - or thorough blog.
You could read the "Iliad" or "Don Quixiote" or . . . again, you know. But, "A Monster's Notes" is worth observation.A Monster's Notes Overview
