A review by jyan
City of Truth by James Morrow

4.0

As the book began, I found it drolls but nothing earth-shattering, but as the book reached it back nine, I found myself deeply moved by what it had to say. Rarely do I get choked up by a science fiction novel, but something in the later stages of this novel hit me, though I sense it's because the very theme of the book's late stages is in-and-of-itself a topic which would induce emotions. The message of "neither truth nor lies are in their essence bad, but reliance on either in totality leads to failure", is a good one, and a deep one, and I can appreciate just how much Morrow packed into these slim 140 pages.
