Review # 1 was written on 2013-06-11 00:00:00 Craig Cassidy This one's pretty good, but be prepared to not understand the plot line. It's really all about the beautiful language the author uses.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-23 00:00:00 Susan Cejka The Disappearance of Seth is an example of a novel that, despite being short, did an amazing job with character development. You get to know the ensemble cast intimately--not so much their age, race, job, etc, but by their insecurities, values, what role they play in their circle of family and friends. The exception being Seth, who was intended to be enigmatic. However, not understanding his motivations or much of his character left a gaping hole in the book for me. I loved how the storylines were all interwoven, as in the film Crash or Love Actually, and everyone had a relationship with one another in some way--a statement on humanity. Kazim Ali's prose is moody, classy, and rife with poetry, and made me want to look up more of his work. A great example of how the personal is political.
