Review: Detached Brilliance
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 12, 2013
Author Justin Bog has written something evocative. His characters are relate-able and at other times unfathomable. They linger someplace between caring and detachment. I feel similar desperation in my own life - trying to be there for others while moving myself forward. There's a balance we must all find. Patrick and the other characters are not able to find this, and are stuck within relationships -professional and personal- that become largely destructive. The Conversationalist is brilliant in its psychology, and relevance. You will be thinking of this book long after you turn the last page.
