frasersimons 's review for:
The Last White Man
by Mohsin Hamid
This feels like something I’d like a lot more on the page, potentially. Out loud, the style has a grating habit where it constantly reiterates information it just mentioned; presumably for the musicality/cadence of the prose. Sort of like, maybe, Elizabeth Strout’s Lucy Barton. Whereas I find her endearing and fitting, this one-size fits all to every characters from a macro perspective is really annoying. To the point where I didn’t care all that much what was going on, because I would get into it and then be jarred right out of it. If it wasn’t a 2 hour audiobook I’d have stopped. Not for me, unfortunately.
