A review by wmbogart
The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt
Incredible novel. One of the funniest I’ve read. Lighter in tone than some of the other great post-modern works, but no smaller in scope. Egghead gags galore. Incredibly complex in obvious and subtle ways. Feels like a very rich text, but it’s bizarrely approachable in spite of the intellectual rigor and depth. Loved it!
