If you’re a fan of Greek tragedy and know the story of Oedipus, Jason Akley’s Lazarus is a title you definitely should read.  An up to date version of the Sophocles work, Lazarus is a wild ride.  I did find it very difficult to navigate at the beginning.  As a point of reference, the book follows the chronology of the Roman family, a history of the family tree that spans 3 centuries.  Once you can adjust yourself to the tempo and keep the names straight, you can embrace the dysfunctional nature of the story.Jason Akley is a talented author and a new favorite for me.  I look forward to reading his work once again!
