Katherine Dunn: Geek Love (2002)

Review of 'Geek Love' on 'Goodreads'

I was much more interested in the framing story than the backstory, and after a good beginning, I did not get much of that framing stories. Nice enough ideads, but I wasn't particulary interested in the main characters and their way of live, which is probably the focus of the book. I didn't learn anything either, about carny work or the world or people. So, okayish, and intriguing, but not for me.

Review of 'The debt to pleasure' on 'Goodreads'

Not just quite the book for me. The narrator is as wordy as Humbert Humbert, but much less charming or interesting, and cares desparately what people think of him. It's just not much fun listening to him. But yes, I like strong narrators, and food, surprises, and crime, so it was fun enough, in its way.
