An Afghanistan Picture Show, Or, How I Saved the World by William T. Vollmann

2.0

What I read of this book was interesting enough, but ultimately it failed to capture my interest. Vollmann basically provides the reader with a deluge of information, but without any line of thought, narrative, perspective, or argument to tie the information together, it felt rather aimless. And the prose was mostly uninteresting, which is odd given that Vollmann's writing is so hypnotic elsewhere.
