Can I Brush My Dog's Teeth With Colgate

Jonathan Carroll - Bones of the Moon

Assuming that I had already 'read another book by the same author, "Hello Pauline," a noir very beautiful and intriguing, I must say that this "Bones of the Moon' and 'was a disappointment from the first page. Jonathan Carroll
supposed to be one of the authors 'current and visionary fiction and this book' presented as "a fantasy for those who love fantasy, and a masterpiece for those who love fantasy." Mah!
E 'written in a sloppy and do not have a minimum of originality' in the plot. The story takes place on two floors, with a real love story of the protagonist with the man more 'beautiful, good, good, intelligent exists on the planet (which, however,' remains in the background) and a dream in which our heroine goes to her first child who did not want (I think that the author would treat the issue of abortion but they are no 'failed) in imaginary adventures on an island (Rondua).
shame that everything 'that happens in the real world and' cloying (the friendship with the classic gay hyperactive and curious from the collective, and the temptation of loving famous director who seems to be the turning point of the book and then ends up in oblivion, lost between pages, and the birth of his daughter described in a listless) and what 'is happening in the world of dreams and' summary post without even an attempt to create something original and fantastic.
The finish, of course, sees the merger of the dream world real. What a surprise!
A book should be carefully avoided, however, part of an imaginary "sextet of answered prayers" with which I imagine that the author wants to put a kind of guru of modern fantasy.
