Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-26 00:00:00 Mario Fiore This is what I would call a prismatic, novelized biography of Robert Frost. As with Brian Hall's earlier work, "I Should Be Extremely Happy in Your Company" (which I loved, and which is amazing), this is told in a fractured way, and assumes some familiarity with Frost's life and work. Without it, you'll be lost. I think Hall has the soul and mind -- as well as the pen -- of a poet, and admire the way he gets into the minds of his characters. That said, I didn't find this nearly as compelling or successful as the earlier book, perhaps because 1) Frost is a really tough nut to crack, and even at the end, I'm not sure how well I understood him, and 2) this book doesn't have the overarching narrative drive of the Lewis & Clark book. Still, I think Hall is an extremely gifted writer, and will definitely read whatever he writes next.
