Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin
Winter's Tale
3/5. Um, I don't know? A long magical realist fantasy about New York at opposite ends of the twentieth century, including thieves and newspaper wars and mayoral races and family saga and a magic white horse.
This book contains a plan to build what is essentially a rainbow bridge to nowhere, and I can think of no better way to describe this reading experience. It is playful and bizarre and elaborate and silly, and it basically goes nowhere. I'm glad I read it? I think? Maybe? It's certainly magical on the sentence-by-sentence, page-by-page scale. In the broader scale, boy I just don't know.
