The story itself revolves around the character of the Warden and is told from a first-person POV. But you probably already know what word I was going to use. Put on your big-reader panties, everyone. In essence, the book is about… mmm… well, it’s about a whole lot of things, and they’re all mashed up into one big– LOW TOWN ( Amazon) is a debut novel (yeah, there was a rash of newbs in our pile and guess who got em?) by Daniel Polansky. (How many times can I feasibly use that word in a single paragraph without having it ruin me? Best not to ask.) Anyhow, generic is pretty much where this book landed. The idea of a cornucopia in my head is a pretty generic one, without any kind of preconception of the pieces contained by the… uh… aforementioned cornucopia. Based on that single word, your impression of the book right now is probably dependent upon your own connotation of the word cornucopia. Do you know what a cornucopia is? I’m not sure if this is the greatest analogy or not, but the imagery of a cornucopia is immediately what came to mind when I was reading this novel.
